The Colour Experience, (the new name for the former Colour Museum), is part of the educational activities of The Society of Dyers and Colourists, the world's only chartered professional body and educational charity dedicated to colour.

The day's events included talks on:

How do we see colour and how does it affect us?

Will it come out in the wash? - John Wyles
How do manufacturers ensure that their goods are 'fit for purpose'.  (John Wyles apart from being a founder member of NSCT is also a 50 year member of the Society of Dyers and Colourists.)

The skill of the textile printer - Peter Lockett
A look at the historical development of textile printing with typical examples from various periods. (Dr Lockett is a retired dyer and textile printer and former President of the Society of Dyers and Colourists.)

Members also had time to look at the exhibits in the Colour Experience.
