It is with regret that we announce the closure of the Quaker Tapestry Museum on 13th December 2025. The financial stability of the museum has become more difficult to sustain in recent years
and income received from paying visitors and other sources has failed to keep pace with regular leaps in running costs. As a result, we have no option under our obligations to the Charity Commission but to look into an orderly winding down of the museum and sadly will say goodbye to our staff and to our visitors. Despite this sad news, while the museum is closed we will be working very hard to find a financially sustainable future for the Quaker Tapestry. It is the firm intention of the Trustees – many of whom are Quakers – to ensure that the Tapestry itself continues to serve a vital role by illustrating the traditions and values for The Religious Society of Friends. We would like to acknowledge all the offers of help we have received. These are very much appreciated. We hope to work with many of you both in terms of fundraising and defining the way forward to ensure there is a bright and sustainable future for the Tapestry.
