More than widows weeds

Fashion Curator and Researcher, Jennifer Parker takes a look at the long and often complex history of mourning fashion in Britain. Do you know what the Georgians wore when they lost a loved one? Was mourning fashion always black? Is it true the Victorians made mourning jewellery out of the deceased's hair? Find out the answers to all these questions and more in this gothic journey through fashion history.

15 October 2026, doors from 7.00pm, talk starts at 7.30pm
