A 60-minute illustrated lecture, 'Breeches, Bonnets and Bags: British Fashion in Art Through the Centuries' presented by UK-based art and design expert, Rosalind Whyte.

Rosalind says, 'Portraits provide a fascinating insight into the changing styles of dress over the centuries' and this lecture follows the different fashions as revealed in paintings, looking at dress and accessories, and some of the more ridiculous styles from the 16th to the 19th century.

After the lecture, you are invited to join us in the foyer for a glass of Greenhough wine or sparkling water and a sandwich
