Fashionable Handsworth

Fashionable Handsworth

Join us for a tour inspired by Birmingham’s rich industrial history. Starting at the Soho House Visitor Centre, step back in time to learn about the methods for producing different fabrics and how the clothes of the rich differed to that of the poor. Taking to the streets of Handsworth, visit Soho Road and discover the influence that the South Asian community has had on Fashion.

Finally, return to Soho House to have an interactive Saree draping workshop. Please note that this event includes a small walking tour around the locality.  This is a free event and part of the Lunar Society Commonwealth Legacy project. The tour will be delivered by Legacy West Midlands and Birmingham Museums Trust. To book a place, please email sian@legacy-wm.org.
