Thomas Wolsey Hat Parade - Schools Programme

When Cardinal Wolsey’s original hat arrived in England on board a ship from the Pope in Rome, Wolsey insisted that the hat should be paraded in a grand style through London. Therefore, to mark the arrival of Cardinal Wolsey’s original hat to The Hold earlier this year, we worked with local primary schools to create a virtual hat parade - of course we couldn’t use the real hat as it’s over 500 years old so we had our trusty replica!
You can view the original galero hat and lots of other fantastic artefacts in the Wolsey’s Ipswich Exhibition, currently at The Hold until 29th October.
