Group Visits and Events

We have offered group visits at ULITA since opening in 2004. We have an education area equipped with DVD and data projection equipment and a workstation giving access to interpretive material, and the Clothworkers' Digital Archive. We have welcomed groups from abroad and many local schools have enjoyed our facilities. We have frequently visited schools to bring the ULITA experience into the classroom, e.g. 2008 work with local schools. and displaying work of schools and community groups.
