M&S Archive

Learning at the M&S Archive in Leeds is a whole lot of fun! Covering 140 years of retail, social and design history, the collection has been expertly mined by the Education & Families Officer to yield up all sorts of curriculum connections. From Early Learning Goals in the ‘Shops and Shopping’ workshop through to business concepts and product design in the KS3-4 workshop ‘Business Brains’. With a well-equipped Learning Room for hands-on workshops, and an engaging permanent exhibition to explore – including a walk-in Penny Bazaar shop and a Design Studio where children (and big children!) can try on M&S clothing from across the years - this is ‘not just any’ archive, but one designed to excite, inform and inspire.
