Little Boy Blue Exhibition

To tie in with the launch of the National Trust's '100 Things to wear' book launch, we have Adrian Drewe's little boy blue suit on display in the Drawing Room.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

The suit is featured in the new book, so to celebrate the launch we have it on display along with other items related to Adrian Drewe. We also have a dressing up area where you can take your very own Edwardian Portrait.
