Fashion and social history lovers, don’t miss this fabulous peek into the glamorous and extraordinary Eden Hore Central Otago Collection. In the 1970s, farmer Eden Hore turned a tractor shed into a couture museum, showcasing over 220 dazzling garments. Authors Jane Malthus and Claire Regnault join Kate de Goldi to share Eden’s story – plus, enjoy a rare look at pieces from the collection!
Tickets include a glass of bubbles and a light bite before this very special session, so arrive early.
