About Canterbury Fancy Dress - Marlowe Costumes
Quality fancy dress and theatrical costume hire. Costumes, make-up, wigs, hats etc available to buy. With over 40 years experience.
Canterbury Fancy Dress - Marlowe Costumes Description
The Post Office at Ringwould seems a strange place for a fancy dress business to become established, but there it was ( in the basement ) with about 200 costumes and a very low ceiling!
Having made costumes for local theatre groups for many years we decided to hire them out rather than just get rid of them at the end of a show.
35 years later and here we are, in a thriving business with a large showroom where we can supply almost anything related to fancy dress. How many costumes have we now got? we stopped counting at 4000! ! ! !
Our range of hire costumes and accessories are suited to all budgets and we supply individual party go'ers, theatre groups, weddings, schools and corporate events.
With a large selection of retail costumes, wigs, make-up, hats, masks, crowns and tiaras etc there isn't much we can't supply.
This is an every evolving business and we source products from all over the world keeping up with the latest trends.
We are a family run business that works hard making, mending and washing costumes but also having a great time with all our customers, because after all. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
IT'S MORE FUN IN COSTUME.

Selling off lots of ex hire costumes. If it has one of these stickers on, then it's up for grabs #costumesale #fancydresssale #sale #dressingup #shoplocal #recycle
Sad to see the Dressing Room go, another small independent business that will be closing their door for the final time - Remember folks - Keep it local - use it or lose it x x The Dressing Room December 31, 2018 at 11:34 PM · Happy New Year! It’s the end of the year, and for us, the end of an era. ... We opened our shop in 2005 and 2019 will see us say goodbye. We have had so much fun, and have had a great gang work with us over the years; a big thank you to all of you (we love you all). We have had A LOT of fun! We have also had the best landlords, who have been so supportive and kept us going this long (we love you lots too). Sadly, just too many of you out there shop on-line or are just not dressing up enough! Much Love x
