From Tabards to Tailoring - Lecture
£5 payable on the door. No ticket needed. Drinks from 7pm, one-hour lecture at 8pm.
Lecture outline
By 2020 the global menswear industry is expected to be worth $33 billion. This illustrated lecture unpicks the social and political threads that hold the male wardrobe together by considering changing attitudes across the ages. It identifies key individuals from Beau Brummell to Edward VII and important periods of transition from the Restoration of Britain’s monarchy in 1660 to the ‘Youthquake’ that occurred after the Second World War. Following a timeline and explaining sartorial developments in conjunction with social and political changes, the lecture shows how men’s clothing, even thoughts on what it means to be male, has been in constant evolution. This remains so today.Speaker's Profile

A Walk in the Park
A Walk in the Park: Rehearsed Reading
OSO Arts Centre, Barnes, SW13 0LF
Thu 12th November 2020
By Eddy Radburn
'A Walk in the Park' consists of 11 comedy sketches, lasting from 6 to 20 minutes. Pure escapism, full of hysterical, nervous, depressive, crazy, exuberant, over emotional, eccentric characters. People that you would almost certainly never find while enjoying the calm and tranquility of a not so typical public park somewhere in England.Barnes Community Players event
