Explore items from Snowshill's internationally significant costume collection.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Threads of Identity will lead you through a curated selection of garments from Charles Wade’s remarkable Snowshill Costume Collection.

With items of both national and international significance, this exhibition invites you to explore how clothing weaves together personal expression, social history, and global connection.
