Upon arrival, guests will be welcomed with a sparkling beverage. As you explore the collection, you’ll be transported to an era where fashion’s allure often came with fatal consequences, revealing the intricate designs that were as deadly as they were beautiful.

The highlight of the evening will be a presentation by the esteemed costume collector Sandy Whitelaw. With her extensive knowledge and passion for Victorian fashion, Sandy will provide captivating insights into death by fashion, diseased dresses, mercurial hats and why to never wear green!
