Behind the Scenes at the M&S Archive

Heritage Open Day: Join us for a behind the scenes tour of the M&S Archive Ever wondered how we care for the M&S collection? Or where we keep it? Join our archivists for a behind the scenes tour and find out.

Tours of the archive Strong Room (not usually open to the public) will be running every half hour from 10:30am to 3pm, and places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

You'll also have the opportunity to explore our interactive M&S Archive exhibition which tells the story of M&S from the early days of the Penny Bazaars to present. With new displays and interactive exhibits, our exhibition is full of opportunities to get closer to the collection and experience the M&S story for yourself. Go shopping in our Penny Bazaar, try on fashions of the past in the Design Studio, take a seat and enjoy our film collection in the cinema area and find out more about the people that make M&S so special.

Free refreshments will also be available.
