Henge
Step into the past through the clothes that shaped it. Join Luke Tomes, Bernadette Banner, and James Johnson (Jimmy the Viking) for a lively journey across centuries of fashion and craftsmanship. From the practicality of wearing medieval armour to the pomp of a Tudor-era doublet and hose get-up, alongside the elegance – and controversy – of Victorian corsets, this talk brings history to life through the lived experiences of our panel. Discover the skill behind tailoring, the fading traditions of weaving and sewing, and the realities of maintaining garments before washing machines! Expect insight, humour, and a fresh appreciation for the clothes that defined everyday life.
