Silk, Stitches and Status at Calke Abbey: BSL Tours

Created by Heritage Interpreters

Uncover the secrets in the seams of the clothing collection at Calke Abbey on a new tour.

Join us for an exclusive tour revealing rarely seen garments. From elegant gowns to servantsโ€™ uniforms, each one is stitched with history and the stories of those who wore them. The tour will take you across all three floors of the House, exploring the lives of the family, staff and the world around Calke through the clothing worn and collected โ€“ much of which has never been on display before.

There will be a British Sign Language (BSL) Interpreter for this tour.
