National Pram Collectors Weekend

Saturday 11^th and Sunday 12^th May 2013

Visitors to the second pram collectors weekend at the Wedgwood Museum will enjoy two full days of events, features and presentations. We begin on Friday 10^th May between 6.00 – 8.00pm when pram lovers and collectors will be able to meet together for an evening reception with a glass of wine. No prams please at this event.

Over the next two days, attendees will be able to see specialist dealers (offering prams, miniature prams, pram parts, dolls, clothing, bedding, nursery heirlooms, vintage pram goods, books, commemorative gifts and pram-related goods such as prints, cakes and hand-made crafts etc). Leading doll artists will also be exhibiting their skills on Saturday. The museum galleries will feature a special pram timeline display showing ‘100 years of pram design 1870 – 1970’ and we will also display collector’s prams chosen to celebrate the four important periods in pram development. Illustrated talks will take place featuring:

 ‘Norland College – the history and training of the British Nanny 1892-2013’.  Thirza Ashelford (Norlander and Principal of the College 2005-9) will give an illustrated presentation on the history of the college and the training of the Norland Nanny including some practical demonstrations of the ‘Norland Way’ of childcare.

                            ‘My time at Marmet’. David Osborn (former Technical Director at the Marmet factory) will relive his experiences at the home of one of Britain’s most loved pram makes.

‘Perambulators that made history’. Geoff Swift (the UK’s leading pram historian) will prepare a special feature based on his wonderful collection of classic prams.

Fund raising for Donna Louise Hospice will include raffles, pram pinboard, photo opportunities and naming a vintage doll. Finally, there will be a 10% discount offered in the Wedgwood Visitor Centre retail shop and factory outlet shop on production of a pram day admission ticket.
