Hats in Art, Again!

12/5/2026

With the upcoming Dorset Art Weeks now an annual event, you’ll see our ‘HATS IN ART‘ window (this being our third?) on a more regular basis… starting right here!

This year’s DAW runs 23 May to 7 June, featuring artists showing in almost 300 venues across the county.

Here at T Snook we celebrate the event by showcasing various hats (or their nearest equivalent) that feature in works of art from hundreds of years ago right through to modern day, with paintings of subjects as diverse as past luminaries by old masters to a couple of portraits of more ‘local legends’ who you might recognise (one very close to home)… and we even match the theme in our brollies!

So, how many can you guess?
