From Victorian elegance to the psychedelic seventies—which era will you choose?
Join us at The Carlton on Friday 16 October for the Inaugural History & Fashion Exhibition Dinner: an elegant evening celebrating Ilfracombe’s history and style through the ages.
Arrive from 7pm and enjoy:
• A welcome drink reception
• A three-course dinner
• Live music from North Devon acoustic harmony band Nothing But Treble
• A prize for the best period-inspired outfit
Tickets are £44 per person—and £5 from every ticket sold will help provide the seed funding for next year’s History & Fashion Exhibition.
Period dress is warmly encouraged, whether your inspiration is Victorian finery, mid-century glamour, the swinging sixties or the colour and character of the 1970s.
Accommodation packages are also available for guests wishing to make a night or weekend of it.
Suitable for ages 14 and over. Menu pre-orders and advance booking are required.
