As the crisp scent of autumn fills the air and we reach for cozier layers, Parkwood invites you to an enchanting Autumnal Heritage Hat Show and Talk—featuring a unique perspective on Oshawa’s local history.

This special event highlights the enduring legacy of Oshawa’s Lovell family, showcasing their fashion history through the timeless elegance of hats. Each piece tells a story, blending the artistry of design with the rich social history of one of the city’s long-serving families.

Join us for Tea and Scones as we prepare for the brisk months ahead, exploring the fascinating tales woven into the fabric of the Lovells’ wardrobe and the statement pieces they wore. Celebrate the season with us and discover the stories hats can tell.

As this event takes place in our Sunroom/Loggia, there are several steps to the lower level. If anyone in your party has mobility issues please do let us know a minimum of 7 days in advance of the event.

Curatorial chat from Samantha and fashion show.

Tea and Scones will be provided.

This is not a traditional afternoon tea event and does not include a meal.
