Since 2023 Handpicked productions have been busy working on their National Lottery Heritage Fund funded project, Sekers Objects. With your help they’ve looked under beds, peeked in sheds and scoured mantle pieces, collecting objects that tell the stories of Sekers Fabric, the iconic design and fabric manufacturer that was the beating heart of the West Cumbrian community for so long. In February 2025 these objects will come together for the first time, and you are invited you to join them at Rosehill Theatre, Whitehaven from 2-27 February and step into the world of Sekers’ Objects.

The exhibition transforms Rosehill into a ‘sample book’ of Sekers Fabric. Journey through the timeline of this pioneer in fabric design and manufacturing. The exhibition is staged at Rosehill, the theatre that was created by the founder of West Cumberland Silk Mills - Sir Nicholas ‘Miki’ Sekers, as a beacon of culture for his employees and the wider community.
Hear from the people who worked there and see the objects that have moved down the generations. Glimpse into the glamorous world of Sekers ‘at-home’ and meet some of the figures, like Miki Sekers and Bill Hamilton who were the visionaries behind Sekers Fabrics for much of the twentieth century.
