UPDATED – Only Fools Costume Exhibition opens this weekend in Southend
Coming this school holiday season
Only Fools & Horses Costume Exhibition 2017 The Pier Southend on sea (shore end)
Experience the history of the Trotters through their costumes and key props from 1981 to 2003, some never seen before.
No doubt as on previous occasions there will be costumes worn by Grandad, Uncle Albert, Del Boy, Rodney, Trigger, Marlene and other Only Fools and Horses characters.
From the beginning, when Derek Trotter and the gang were just lines in a script and pencil designs on paper, through the history of the classic, heartwarming and hilarious Only Fools and Horses, we have created an exhibition of costumes and memorabilia that will walk fans through conception, the outset of comedy genius – series one, Del Boy’s subtle transformations – street trader, yuppie, jolly boy, superhero and millionaire, but never changing in our hearts and souls – and beyond.
Fans will be reminded of key turns in the series that however gripping and wistful, made for television GOLD in the treasure chest that is Only Fools and Horses. Nags Head banter, Mandela House madness, Market dashes, Hospital heartache, the memories of one of the best sitcoms in British History will come flooding back.
Key characters will join Derek, Rodney, Grandad and Uncle Albert in the exhibition and the feeling of walking amongst greatness will put a smile on faces and a laugh never far from the heart.
We’re also giving out a surprise free gift upon entry!
Admission by ticket available on the door, free gift on entry

Good afternoon.
I have a sheepskin coat I am trying to authenticate as 1 of 3 originals made for Sir David Jason character, to be worn in the television programme Only Fools and Horses. I have contacted the BBC and the solicitors / estate management of John Sullivan both who are unable to assist me.
It was bought roughly 40 years ago and we were told it was 1 of the 3 made originally. I am trying to get any type of authentication as this will help me in my auction of it towards Air Ambulance.
I googled “head of costume onfh” and your name popped up. Can you please offer me any help, assistance or advice?
I thank you for anything you can do for me.
Many thanks
Mitch Woodward.
