50 Years of the National Trust Textile Conservation Studio – The Loft, Blickling Estate

From Monday 14 September until Sunday 20 September, 11am to 3pm the National Trust’s Textile Conservation Studio is marking five decades of preserving some of the Trust’s most treasured textile collection with a free exhibition in The Loft, Blickling Estate.

The exhibition traces the Studio’s journey from a small volunteer-led initiative to today’s internationally recognised centre of conservation excellence, caring for historic textiles from National Trust properties across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Visitors can explore how conservation techniques and technologies have evolved, gain insight into the specialist skills required to safeguard these collections and meet the conservators whose work helps ensure they can be enjoyed for generations to come.

No booking is required, and the exhibition forms part of Heritage Open Days: 50 Years of the National Trust Textile Conservation Studio | National Trust
