Join us for a lunchtime fashion talk as we feature a two-piece Victorian wedding ensemble of jacket and skirt, worn by Caroline Phoebe Newing when she married Samuel Toy Beard at Matarawa, in June 1880.

Trish Nugent-Lyne, Pou Tiaki/Collections & Curatorial Lead, will present a free public talk on Friday, 3 October at 12.15pm.

Everyone is welcome. No need to book. Admission is free. Koha for the Museum is always appreciated. The dress will remain on display throughout October.
