Forthcoming Exhibitions at The Hollies
Recent Acquisitions
7 February 2026 - 25 April 2026
In 2025 a varied and interesting cross section of Laces of various types and ages, lacemaking tools and ephemera were taken into The Lace Guild’s Collection; the majority were donations from both the general public and our members. None of these items have been exhibited before.
We asked two of our Museum Volunteers (Elise Naish and Iain Donald) to undertake the daunting task of selecting the items for inclusion from the many hundreds they had helped catalogue and accession over last year.
Golden Jubilee
2 May 2026 – 12 September 2026
We have been offered the loan of an exciting range of lace items to add to those already donated to the Museum collection over the years. By definition, all will be modern-made laces, although the design styles will vary from traditional through to avant-garde. Group entries, those entered by Young Lacemakers over the years, and the original work of Designers/Makers will be included alongside the reworking of traditional designs. This exhibition will present the many changes that have taken place over the 50-year period.
