Elegant Ensemble Competition

1/9/2026

With the brilliant and beautifully bonkers Bridport Hat Festival almost upon us (this year’s Haturday is 5th September), we at T Snook are pleased to confirm that…

… we are once again sponsoring, compering (that’ll be Snookette Sue), and leading the judging of the festival’s ELEGANT ENSEMBLE competitions.

Just don your finest finery on the day (incorporating glorious headwear, of course). If you’re handed a ‘Your ensemble has caught our eye!‘ card, it’s your invitation to sashay your way to Millennium Green, before 3pm when the judging begins, to enter into the ‘Elegant Ensemble’ competitions. The category prizes are £125 (Ladies/Gentlemen) and £250 (Couples) in vouchers to spend in our little emporium.

We are also delighted to reveal that we have again engaged the fabulous JULIE LEWIS QUARTET to play some juicy jazz at the Millennium Green Garden party from 2-4pm.

So, dress up, hat up and enjoy the party!

HATFEST is Saturday 5th September.
