On the Road
If you are unable to visit us here in Kendal, our roadshows, slide talks, embroidery workshops and photographic displays enable you to participate in the Quaker Tapestry experience in other parts of the country.
Roadshows – Coming to a Town Near You
Each winter we take 39 of the 77 Tapestry panels on tour to a major cathedral town or city in the United Kingdom. An unqualified success, our roadshows attract tens of thousands of visitors to each venue. Check our Events page to see if our next roadshow is near you.
Slide Talks – The Stories Behind the Stitches
Following growing demand we have a nationwide network of experienced speakers who like nothing better than talking to you about the making of Quaker Tapestry, the characters, and the events portrayed in its panels.
All of our speakers have a personal connection with the Tapestry and will bring the talk to life with a slideshow or PowerPoint presentation. A selection of popular Tapestry souvenirs is normally available for sale after the talk.
In order to meet the costs of the talks we ask for a minimum donation of £30 from smaller groups and up to £150 from larger groups. Our speakers give their time and expertise voluntarily on behalf of the Quaker Tapestry. However, we do ask that you reimburse their travelling expenses and where possible we try to find a speaker nearby.
To book a slide talk download our Slide Talk Leaflet, and return the enclosed booking form by email or by post to The Quaker Tapestry at the address at the bottom of the page.
Photographic Displays – The Pictures Speak for Themselves
The Quaker Tapestry has a range of full size photographs of the Tapestry panels. If you would like further information on borrowing a photographic display or arranging a slide talk for your group, please contact Sandra Rose Timson
