A scene from The Dukes 2010 Christmas production of The Snow Queen. Many of the costumes from this show will be in the upcoming sale. |
The doors of The Dukes wardrobe are to be opened again for a costume sale on 22nd October – just in time for the party season, if you’re looking for some impressive fancy dress or simply want to look amazingly different.
This year’s sale follows the tremendous success of a similar event last November, when people were queuing outside the Lancaster theatre to bag a bargain.
The Dukes wardrobe department makes hundreds of costumes for the theatre’s productions and this year’s sale will feature those from some of the most recent shows including Quicksand and last year’s Christmas production, The Snow Queen.
And the sale should also provide inspiration for anyone planning a fancy dress party for Hallowe’en, as it will include full and part costumes which could be customised.
Groups and individuals are welcome to the sale which takes place in The Dukes Gallery from 12pm-3pm. Entry is free and customers should be able to pick up items priced from just a few pounds.
