Hidden Treasures

Join us for a meander through the curious collections of Mary Hope Greg – Edwardian collector, maker and rescuer of the intimate and personal things of the past. Tucked away in the attic of Platt Hall, a country house in the middle of the city, Mrs Greg’s collections offer an evocative glimpse of everyday lives gone by. Delve into cupboards and boxes, in a lucky dip encounter in the hidden stores of Platt Hall’s internationally renowned Gallery of Costume. 

Event free but booking essential as a limited number of places are available.
