What is typically included on our school trips?

A self-guided trip includes visits to the exhibition galleries, replica dress to try on and also exploring the Assembly Rooms.  

A facilitated teaching session includes all of the above as well as working with one of our workshop leaders on design activities linked to your topic and theme – such as focusing on one designer or how does fashion from the past come back into fashion now!
