Tired of the same old jeans and tee-shirts? Longing for some glamour and glitz? Then why not treat yourself to a new Easter Bonnet. There is a long tradition of new clothes, particularly hats, at Easter.
The Guildhall Art Gallery has hats to suit all tastes and budgets, or get creative and make one yourself with some ribbon and glue.
