Book in to enjoy a free behind the scenes visit at the Warner Textile Archive.

THREE TOURS A DAY

There will be a guided tour focusing on innovation within the design and manufacture of textiles by Warner & Sons from the 1830s – 1980s. See historic textiles up-close including early examples of surface-roller printed curtains, innovations in the use of alternative yarns and geometric patterns in the 1930s, through to experimentations with screen-printing in the 1950s. Visits include exclusive access to our collection store which is not normally open to the public. Whilst in Braintree you have the opportunity to visit Braintree Museum for free, which hosts the Warner & Sons Gallery showcasing more pioneering textile processes from Warner & Sons. Tours at the Warner Textile Archive last approximately 20 minutes, with further time to view our displays and visit our shop.
