EXHIBITIONS

5th – 27th September

Thursday – Sunday

11am – 4pm

Step back in time this September at the Old Parcels Office Artspace.

Sunday Best is a heritage exhibition celebrating the tradition of travelling to the seaside dressed in your finest clothes. From elegant Victorian promenades to the changing fashions of the 1920s, 30s and beyond, discover how a visit to Scarborough was once as much about style and social ritual as it was about the sea.

Featuring period costumes and accessories, historic photographs and themed displays, the exhibition explores everything from bathing costumes to the rise of Scarborough’s famous department stores and the art of promenading along the Esplanade and Queen’s Parade.

Part of Heritage Open Days and the Scarborough 400 celebrations, this exhibition brings the story of Scarborough’s seaside heritage vividly to life.
