Featuring unique artefacts, historic garments, films and photographs from the archive collection, our exhibition tracks the journey of M&S from market stall to Penny Bazaar to international retailer. M&S is woven into the fabric of the UK – from the clothes we wear to the food we eat.

Which of your M&S favourites will you discover?

With new displays and interactive exhibits, our exhibition is full of opportunities to get closer to the collection and experience M&S history 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.

It’s totally free to visit, the exhibition is open Monday-Friday and the second Saturday of every month 10am-4pm.
