STAFF at Bewdley Museum are letting their latest exhibition go to their heads.

Hats Off is showcasing the range of headwear belonging to the museum's permanent collection, ranging from top hats to parade helmets and babies' bonnets.

Replicas of the woollen hats Bewdley was renowned for producing in years gone by are also on display.

Monica Rees, education officer at the museum, explained how the latest exhibition had come about, saying: "We had a costume exhibition, which was one of the first times we used the museum's costumes in that way, so it's followed on from there."

She added: "We describe them as being pretty to plain and frivolous to practical."

Hats Off runs until Sunday, July 30. Admission to the museum is free.
