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

There are lots of opportunities to get hands-on 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. On the second Saturday of every month we’re open for Sparky Saturdays – there’s a hands-on activity, free refreshments and our exhibition trails to try.
