A flash mob spectacle!

Liverpool ONE was taken over by a lively flash mob, bringing the history of hats in Liverpool to life! From 1900s Baker Boy Caps to Fascinators at The Aintree Races, we showcased it all – with a special nod to The Beatles and their signature Brenton hats. A fast-paced, music-filled celebration of Liverpool’s unique fashion history!

A huge thank you to Try and Lilly, and Felicity Liverpool for generously providing the hats for our flash mob, and to the amazing dancers from MD Productions for bringing the energy and life to the performance!
