quaker tapestry & exhibition centre, small visitor attraction of the year 2008...

The Quaker Tapestry attracts a wide range of visitors from across the world. The judges were impressed by the variety and quality of techniques used to give information to their visitors. Particularly innovative is the Tapestry ‘on tour' where panels are exhibited in other major cities, helping to media coverage and encouraging visitors to then visit the full exhibition in Kendal. Friendly and knowledgeable staff and an award winning tea room make this an enjoyable day out.
