Hexham’s Hats and Glad Rags on Battle Hill wins the Mayor’s Shop Front award

Mayor Derek Kennedy said “Hats and Glad Rags has a stunning shop front with Patricia Barnes constantly changing the dresses and hats and the colours. It’s just a shame it only caters for females but I thought I would try a hat on anyway.”  

Owner Patricia Barnes said “I am chuffed to bits. I put a lot of effort in to dress the window and I frequently get people popping in to say how they like it. I’ve been at this location for 2 years now and business is going well.   I am so happy Hexham Town Council has recognised my display.”

The shop specialises in glamorous ladies wear including dresses, hats and necklaces. Some of the clothing has been worn at Royal Ascot, the Aintree Grand National, The Queen’s Garden Party at Buckingham Palace and for those receiving honours from the Royal Family  The clothing is also worn by Brides and Mother of the Bride at weddings.
