The visual impact and beauty of the award winning Quaker Tapestry, a celebration of life, people and events across the centuries, inspires all those who visit. Often compared with the Bayeux Tapestry, this modern, internationally created exhibition reveals a myriad of stories within 77 captivating and colourful embroidery panels.
Since the dawn of recorded history, craftspeople have used their skills to tell stories. Such a record is the Quaker Tapestry - made in a form known as "narrative crewel embroidery". As with the famous Bayeux Tapestry, it is a hanging which tells a story.
The Quaker Tapestry has been described as a celebration of Quaker experience and insights over 350 years, though Quakers would hasten to add that they do not, by any means, lay sole claim to them. Nevertheless, it is a timely reminder of the contribution these non-conformists have made to the modern world.
As well as the Quaker Tapestry itself, our exhibition includes several other exhibits and activities to complement your visit.
