Shoppers of every rank were lavishly wooed, seduced and often undone by the temptations laid out before them in these new ‘cathedrals of desire’.Starting on Oxford Street’s ‘golden mile’, we’ll set off on a cultural tour of the capital’s big stores – from snooty Marshall & Snelgrove, to Pontings, ‘House of Value’; from Kennards’ wart-removal service, to the live flamingos atop Derry & Toms; from Bodgers of Ilford, to Bon Marché of Brixton. How did it feel to enter a great store in the lavish Edwardian era? What was it like to serve? From shoppers to shop girls, publicity stunts to wow factor window dressing, this is a fascinating slice of social history, with wonderful period images.Tea and coffee from 11am, talk starts 11.30am. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/8139b2e0-f01f-11f0-8c1b-f9fe3f809c3e-rimg-w523-h740-dcffffff-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/nairn/britain’s-lost-department-stores-a-vanished-world-of-dazzle-and-dreams/100001976708791206 - **Event Categories**: art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 11.21, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Nairn - **state**: SC - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Nairn Community & Arts Centre - **lat**: 57.58563410000001 - **long**: -3.8706152 - **full address**: Nairn Community & Arts Centre, King Street, Nairn, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Britain’s Lost Department Stores, A Vanished World of Dazzle & Dreams - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/c50299c6604e80f895a05a21afb8a28d2e2b83979e89657c0a427fcf408ec11d-rimg-w1200-h1697-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1768267867 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Britain’s Lost Department Stores, A Vanished World of Dazzle & Dreams being held? - **A:** Britain’s Lost Department Stores, A Vanished World of Dazzle & Dreams takes place on Tue, 10 Mar, 2026 at 11:30 am to Tue, 10 Mar, 2026 at 01:30 pm at Nairn Community & Arts Centre, King Street, Nairn, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Britain’s Lost Department Stores, A Vanished World of Dazzle & Dreams? - **A:** Tickets for Britain’s Lost Department Stores, A Vanished World of Dazzle & Dreams are priced at GBP 11 per person.
