POLAR TEXTILES: THE HIDDEN STORIES OF POLAR WOMEN

2:00pm-3:00pm on Monday 20 March

Times shown are in GMT (UTC +0) up to the 26th March. For events on or after 27th March times are in BST (UTC +1).

The Polar Museum, Scott Polar Research Institute, Lensfield Road, CB2 1ER

Ever wondered how women supported polar expeditions before they were allowed to travel to the poles themselves?

Join the Polar Museum and a team of student costume designers who have recreated one of the most eccentric and beloved items in the museum’s collection: Dorothy Irving Bell’s polar-themed party costume.

Learn about a woman whose self-proclaimed mission in life was to imbue the young with a love of polar exploration and try on the replica costume for yourself!

Part of the Cambridge Festival Student Creatives project.
