Head to this pop-up exhibition of Wakes Week memorabilia!

A personal archive of Robert Leech built over 50 years, including photographs, postcards, cartes de visite, stereoviews, ephemera and publications from his home town of Blackpool, spanning the period from the 1860s to the present-day, with a particular focus on the working classes at play in the resort in the timespan 1900-1939.

The Wakes Week Pop-up Museum was produced by Uncultured Creative and commissioned by British Textile Biennial in partnership with Show Town. You can read more about it here.

Alongside the pop-up exhibition, National Festival of Making have commissioned Izzy Sempill to deliver a postcard making workshop, taking inspiration from the postcard collection and using decorative and second-hand papers.
