From chintz to tartan, paisley to pop-art, join History Curator Vicky Garrington on a tour of the origins of some of the most recognisable patterns in our collection. Enjoy seeing a range of pieces from our dress history collection not currently on display, and explore how patterns re-emerge and are adapted over time.

Why not make a day of it at Lauriston and have some lunch at Mimi’s café on-site after your lecture experience?
