DAYTIME TV star Kate Bliss has been in Alstonefie­ld, helping vintage clothing expert Notty Hornblower to reopen her clothing museum.

The Bargain Hunt and Antiques Road Trip presenter cut the ribbon at Hope House Museum, which has had to remain closed throughout the pandemic, but is now back up and running.

During Kate’s visit, guests who joined the festivitie­s were met with torrential rain, but managed to find shelter in the museum’s tea room and within its exhibition spaces.

The museum, which houses a collection built up over a lifetime of fashion and textiles through the ages, is open by appointmen­t, and visitors can call 01335 310318 to book.
