To mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War we’ll be taking inspiration from our collection of print fabrics as well as learning some classic moves with workshops from Swing Dance Leeds!


Our 1940s prints brought cheery colour and dashing design to wartime rationed clothing so we’ll be creating our own fabulous fabric prints in the spirit of make do and mend.


Bring the whole family to explore our exhibition enjoy a cuppa and get creative.


You can also browse our dressing-up rails try the Percy Trail and go shopping in the Penny Bazaar!


Free light refreshments included or bring a packed lunch and use our indoor picnic space.


No need to book just drop in – it’s all free!
