What do you think? Are our 1925 pageant gowns #frockingfabulous? Both were worn at a fundraising pageant about Lancashire's history, put on by the Girl Guides. Now on display inside the Hall with other Guiding memorabilia from the event.

Last week we really enjoyed having Bethany at #GawthorpeHall for work experience. She got the opportunity to help cleaning and looking after some of our collections, including winding up this lovely clock.

#GawthorpeHall's ghost garden is back, showing through the main lawn. The original photograph was taken around 1910, but the parterre was expensive to maintain. If you want to see it make sure you visit before it rains! tiny.cc/GawthorpeHall
