Personal items from the world of showbiz!

Remember that fabulous wedding dress Becky Granger wore on TV's Coronation Street? How about the coat worn in the Hollywood cult movie: Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey? Now you have the chance to see these and even more amazing artifacts at the famous "Celebrity Exhibition".

A remarkable one-off exhibition brings together some of the most iconic showbiz props ever to grace the town.

Normally kept locked away from public view, the immediately recognisable items will be on show for all to see.

Star attraction in the exhibition has to be Marilyn Monroe's Little Black Dress. Who knows what glittering Hollywood events she would have worn this to?

There is also the spectacular god of mischief costume from the hilarious movie Son of the Mask, and the earrings once owned by Elizabeth Taylor. While for Sci-Fi fans there is the electro-magnetic boots from the hugely successful film Face Off starring John Travolta and Nicholas Cage.

Fans of the golden days of Hollywood can see Fred Astaire's shoes and Doris Day's exquisite rhinestone bracelet.

This exhibition and its contents have created a huge wave of interest wherever it's been. Thousands have flocked to see the costumes, the clothes and the props that were actually used by their favourite stars.

Younger filmgoers might prefer the Austin Powers props, including a flaming orange shirt and a groovy baby go-go hat.. But visitors of all ages will instantly recognise props from some of the most famous movies; from Titanic to The Flintstones and The Addams Family.

But its not just film fans who are in for a thrill. For music fans there are signed items by such stars as Chuck Berry and Oasis. There is even a Michael Jackson "Dangerous Tour" jacket.

N. B. We recommend that you familiarise yourself with collection prior to booking.
The general condition of these items props and costumes is entirely consistent with use and purpose. In some case, distressed appearance is what gives these props their sense of reality, allowing us to suspend our belief. This aged patina is achieved by the prop-maker and accentuated by lighting on set or CGI.
For the most part, these items were not created for close scrutiny nor ironically for display. Although movie props and costumes may not look as slick as they can appear on screen, it is this very quality which make this such a fascinating and seductive exhibition. It's a behind the scenes look at a unique part of movie making history.
