Gawthorpe Hall Gallery Tour

with Rachel Midgley

On the first floor of Gawthorpe Hall are displays of beautiful textiles, from embroidery to lace and costume, showing the range and depth of this fabulous collection started by Rachel Kay-Shuttleworth.

Join the curator of the Gawthorpe Textiles Collection, Rachel Midgley, for a guided tour of these textile displays. Using the items on display as examples she will talk about the many ways colour has been applied to them, and the impact of innovative developments such as roller printing and aniline dyes, much of which was developed and manufactured in Lancashire.

This is a limited capacity paid ticketed event, please book through this link.
