Join Fife author Esther Rutter for a special gansey-themed reading from her critically acclaimed book on knitting history, This Golden Fleece. Patterned fisherman’s jumpers are found all over Britain, from the north of Scotland to the Channel Islands, and in this one-off event we’ll join Esther on her journey to uncover the stories and connections that make up the UK’s unique coastal knitting heritage.

Open ONLINE: To mark the 75th anniversary of VE Day, we explore the role played by Scotland’s fishing communities during the Second World War.

To brighten up these weird, wintry days come and enjoy something warming from our tearoom and browse these lovely photos by Emily and Caroline in our Merchant’s Room.

Now open ON-SITE and ONLINE: We look to the future to explore what the seas, and the fishing industry, will be like 50 years from now.
