• Picking up the Thread: Wednesday Tapestry Tour

Enjoy a guided tour of Picking up the Thread: The Past, Present and Future of Tapestry with one of our volunteer guides, and take a closer look at this rich and evolving art form. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the British Tapestry Group, these tours focus on exploring the richness and diversity of contemporary tapestry weaving and are an excellent way to learn more about the artists and the works on display.

Tours take place on Wednesday afternoons at 1.30pm, lasting around 30 minutes, and include an opportunity to ask questions in a friendly and informal environment.
