Diana Teas
Diana Teas in November
Bath & North East Somerset Council’s Fashion
Museum is hosting two events to co-incide with
The Diana
Dresses exhibition.
On 2 and 16 November at 3pm, Fashion Museum manager Rosemary
Harden will give a special illustrated presentation about the
exhibition in the Tea Room at the historic Assembly Rooms. Tickets
to the talk include afternoon tea and cakes during the talk and
entry to the museum and Diana’s Dresses exhibition
Manager of the Council run Fashion Museum, Rosemary Harden
said:
"The Diana Dresses exhibition at Bath &
North East Somerset Council’s Fashion Museum has proved popular
across the summer months, and we are arranging the Diana Teas
illustrated talks as a winter event for visitors to hear a little
more about the exhibition and the Diana dresses. It's the first
time we've done anything like this at the Fashion Museum, and we
hope that visitors will enjoy the combination of afternoon tea and
cakes and hearing a little more about Diana as a fashion icon."
The dresses in the exhibition, generously lent
to the Fashion Museum by private collectors, span the brief 16
years that Diana was in the spotlight. They include dresses worn
during the Royal tours of Canada and New Zealand in the early
1980s, evening dresses by Diana's special couturier, the late
Catherine Walker, from almost ten years later around 1990, and
little black cocktail dresses by designers such as Versace from the
mid 1990s. The exhibition also includes a memory wall where
visitors can share their memories about Diana’s Dresses.
Tickets for the Diana Teas are £12.00/£10.00
