Archive Pop-ups

Have you got a bolt of Sekers fabric under your bed? Have you some tools from the old factory hanging in your shed?
Or, perhaps, you’ve a pattern book or a ledger tucked at the back of your desk? We would love to see the objects you saved from Sekers Fabric and hear their stories.

Sekers Objects is a Heritage Lottery Funded project, which is creating a digital archive of Sekers Fabric through the objects left behind: the fabric, the pamphlets, the tools and everyday paraphernalia of the factory’s life.

We are hosting 4 pop-up events where you can come and share the stories of your Sekers objects. Even if you haven’t a physical object we’d love to hear all your Sekers stories that have been woven into local life over the years!

Join us at anytime between 10am-4-pm on the followings dates. Refreshments will be provided.
