London Hat Week - Introducing the British Hat Guild - Panel discussion

A London Hat Week event.

Noel Stewart hosts a Panel Discussion including Karen and fellow milliners Stephen Jones OBE, Misa Harada and Jane Smith to talk about their work and why they consider the Guild to be of such importance to British hat making. Followed by a Q & A session.

In order to follow all health and safety advice, this event will now be held online.
Although of course we are disappointed that we won’t be able to gather together in person, we do now have the advantage of being able to welcome many more people to our discussion!

Tickets cost £15 and must be booked in advance.
Find out more and buy your ticket here.

The British Hat Guild is the new national association of professional milliners, established in Spring 2019 as a way of exchanging ideas and promoting our unique heritage. We aim to provide guidance and support to future milliners, and to share our news with people who are as fascinated as we are by hats and hat-making.
