You can ‘eavesdrop’ on their chat at Bagshaw Museum, Batley, on Saturday, 11 February, when the History Wardrobe presents ‘Tea Gowns and Tea Time’.
As the perfect accompaniment to an afternoon cream tea, ladies of the day will be revealing how diet and drastic underwear helped them fit into the sleek frocks that were fashionable, who they listened to on the wireless and what they went to see at the pictures, and their thoughts on the future from the 1930s.
There will also be top tips on cake baking, linen laundry and tea-leaf reading.
The presentation starts at 2pm. Tickets are £12.50 each and include tea and cake and must be booked in advance. Tickets selling fast.
