Following Threads: Exploring embroidery in the Victorian age
28 January - 11 April 2026
Included with a general admission ticket
Based upon a fine collection of embroidery which has recently been cleaned and remounted for display, this exhibition explores the intricate and varied embroidery work undertaken by members of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment in India and other locations, during the late Victorian period.
The exhibition will examine how and why soldiers produced such works and consider the role these textiles played in regimental life at the outposts of the British Empire.

Monthly Talk: Mission Europe
Thursday 2 April 2026, 6:30pm to 9pm
£14 per person
Mission Europe explores the remarkable history of the women who served with the Special Operations Executive across occupied Europe. In the aftermath of the Nazi invasion, the SOE fanned the early sparks of resistance, recruiting women to operate as secret agents, couriers, and saboteurs—individuals whose work strengthened resistance networks and delivered vital support and supplies.
In this compelling talk, Dr Kate Vigurs — historian and author of Mission Europe — brings these stories to the forefront, tracing operations from the Netherlands and Belgium to Poland and Denmark. She also examines the experiences of Jewish agents recruited in Mandate Palestine for missions in Eastern Europe, revealing narratives of courage, trial and error, escape, and, in some cases, execution.
