THE WORKSHOP

Where fashion is on the ration, and gingham rules the runway!

Roll up your sleeves, smooth out those victory rolls, and grab your best tea dress – we’re taking a jaunt back to 1940s Britain, where fashion is on the ration, and gingham rules the runway!

Keep calm and carry on snapping, as you pass through our perfectly preserved 1940's homestead. Grab a cuppa in the cozy cafe, then jet over to the airman's lounge that’s buzzing with tales of bravery, before setting your sights on the courtyard of military motors. Welcome to the home front!

This isn’t just a trip down memory lane; it’s a full-throttle salute to the trailblazers who made do, mended, and dug for victory in style!

Styled models & sets

Hair, makeup, period wardrobe, three styled corners of an exclusive location.

Lunch & refreshments

A proper sit-down lunch with the team. Tea, coffee and pastries throughout the day.
