WHAT NOT TO WEAR

At Home with the Georgians 17th – 18th August

Ever wondered what lies beneath the voluminous skirts of a Georgian lady? Or perhaps where you might hide your hanky? As for gentlemen, imagine no zips (tricky) while wearing some very calf-flattering stockings and high heels (trickier still). So many fashion faux pas to be made for the unwary twenty-first century person. Meet The Mannered Mob across one fashion-focused weekend to find out What Not To Wear when at home with the Georgians. They’ll tell you all the things you have wanted to know about life behind closed doors… plus a little bit more!

The Georgians are coming…. The Mannered Mob return to Fairfax House for our 5th annual living history weekend: At Home with the Georgians. Join us for one fashion-focused weekend and discover ‘What not to Wear’ as The Mannered Mob tell you all the things you have wanted to know about life behind closed doors… plus a little bit more!
