Join us for a guided tour with a difference! Discover the unexpected and intriguing stories behind the bags on display in our featured exhibition Carried Away: Bags Unpacked.

The bags themselves are a visual feast, but we've dug deeper and fallen down rabbit-holes to bring you the bigger picture of the life and times of these popular accessories. We guarantee that the De-tour stories start with bags, but who knows where we may end up?

De-tours are thirsty work and so they will conclude with a Devonshire tea at our 1929 cafe.

Saturday and Sunday afternoons, 10 - 11 and 17 - 18 August. Bookings essential.

I Wish I Were Just A Little Taller

Andrea from Eden Terrace

Sitting upon my Daddy’s shoulders
I could see into the distance
Peering over the heads and obstacles
I could see far more than I imagined

However as I got older
And his shoulders, well they got smaller
No longer could I sit aloft

Sitting upon my Daddy’s shoulders
I could see into the distance
Peering over the heads and obstacles
I could see far more than I imagined

However as I got older
And his shoulders, well they got smaller
No longer could I sit aloft
I Wish I Were Just A Little Taller

The smoke in the distance
Wasn’t signals from the fire
Rather it was life approaching
If Only I Were Taller

I could have seen around the banks
And crossed over the raging seas
Ahead to the calm clear waters
A painted life of luxuries

Alas that wasn’t to be
And hindsight is my friend
And this is the lesson I learn
From now until the end

Being Taller Gave Dad The Advantage
Although He Too Knew Hindsight
As Lessons Are Learnt From Above
No Matter What Your Shoulder Height
