The C&TA run a wide range of Costume and Textile related events, both in person and online, for members to enjoy. From ticket sales money is raised primarily to support the work of the Norfolk Museum Service (NMS). Fund raising is entirely reliant on membership fees and on members and the wider public attending events, talks and displays. C&TA books and publications, are available for sale on the website and at events.
C&TA have a varied resource costume and textile collection that is used for fashion shows, to enhance displays and to stimulate interest.
The online events programme devised during the Pandemic to keep members in touch, and for them to have events to look forward to with like-minded people, has continued to great aclaim.
The Crafty Chat events were particularly beneficial to those members living alone, at a time when we were not allowed to meet in person. They proved so successful that we have continued them.
The C&TA trustees have a wide range of abilities, skills and interests to draw on when devising the programmes of events. The trustees receive no remuneration for their tireless efforts, apart from expenses.
The C&TA works closely with NMS disseminating news and collaborating on some events for members. The list of donations since C&TA’s inception are available on the website: https://www.ctacostume.org.uk/donations.html
