The King’s Gallery

"Touring Style & Society: Dressing the Georgians"

Holyrood Palace

28 August 2024

2pm – 4pm

EVENT OVERVIEW

Formerly known as the Queen’s Gallery, our guide will take us around the exhibition Style & Society: Dressing the Georgians.

Discover what fashion can tell us about life in 18th-century Britain, a revolutionary period of trade, travel and technology which fuelled fashion trends across all levels of society. Delve into the Georgians’ style story and get up close to magnificent paintings, as well a range of accessories from jewellery to snuff boxes to swords.

The exhibition reveals how the Georgians ushered in many of the cultural trends we know today, including the first stylists and influencers.

We will be meeting in the Physic Garden beforehand where teas and coffees will be provided.

ABOUT Still Caring

As part of its Still Caring programme, Care for Carers runs a free series of events throughout the year, giving carers a short break from their caring roles and the opportunity to enjoy the company of other carers.

During these events we explore the cultural, artistic and natural aspects of life in and around Edinburgh.

Occasionally an event is open to both the carer and the caredfor person to come together; these are always clearly indicated. Minibus transport is usually provided for events further afield. Please note that some events may have limited availability.

Further details on the Still Caring programme can be found here.
