Come dressed in your very favourite outfit for a red-carpet Museum Up Late party inspired by the Social Fabric exhibition. An evening for fashion, fun and fabulous people!
Come as you are and visit The Salon throughout the night before you get snapped by the paparazzi strutting your stuff on the red carpet. Experience special performances by the outrageous Milena Missi of Queens From Kingscliff, speak with local Fashion Designers modelling their creations, graffiti our Robey Steam Engine with colourful yarn, create wearable art accessories, and more.
We also recommend dancing to tunes by our DJ, relaxing in the courtyard, and enjoying some light nibbles and delicious drinks for purchase by the very glamorous Gin Experience.
What will be your look for the night... natural, slick, tousled, smouldering, low-key cool, chic, classic, wearable art or your very own unique creation?

THE EXHIBITION - SOCIAL FABRIC
Self guided fun | 4 pm – 7.30 pm 
Social Fabric displays some of the Museum's never before seen clothing collection. Each garment tells a surprising and unexpected story. Drag queen gowns, mermaid costumes, military uniforms and lacy corsets all chronicle the social history of fashion and dressmaking in the Tweed.
From the luxurious to the humble, these textiles weave together the Tweed's social fabric, telling stories of who we are, and how they have shaped our identity.
