Contribute To The Museum Of Youth Culture At Brighton's Fred Perry Store On Last Sunday Of The Month

If you go down to the Fred Perry store, in Brighton's Dukes Lane, on Sunday 25th August, you can contribute to the Museum of Youth Culture through submitted photographs, objects and memories.

Since launching in 2019 the museum has received thousands of submissions, from the Roaring Twenties to the Drill artists of today. 

Inviting the public to dig out their family albums and shoebox archives, the resulting collection spans a wide range of media including photographs, home footage, ephemera such as flyers and ticket stubs, teenage clothes such as band t-shirts, other objects and oral histories. 

Founder of Museum of Youth Culture, Jon Swinstead said:

"Whilst there is much that unites us across generations, there are subtle differences in how youth culture expresses itself across regions in the UK - so a punk in Glasgow looks different to one in Brighton and it's important we represent these divergences in subculture. 

"We are excited to be taking the museum on tour across Britain and see what new stories we can discover, and Fred Perry is the perfect cultural partner for this."

He continued: 

"Bringing MOYC to regions across the country is important as ultimately we want the museum to represent as many diverse histories of growing up as possible. 

"Being able to work with our friends at Fred Perry on this tour is an exciting opportunity and a great way to celebrate our shared Subcultural history."

The event is free to take part and will include a talk from an expert from the museum's network.
