Rochford District Heritage Tapestry Community Project Exhibition

Details:

Last year saw this community project completing the Rochford District Heritage Tapestry but the exhibition had to be postponed due to Covid. However, a 2-week Exhibition of all ten 2ft by 3ft framed panels, together with fabulous knitted items, accompanying drawings, historical information and children’s activities is being held this summer.

Tapestry Taster: As a taster to promote the exhibition, three panels are going to be out on show from 21st June for about four weeks. There will be one panel at Holy Trinity Church, Rayleigh, a second at St. Andrews Church, Ashingdon and a third in Rochford Library. After the exhibition, we would be very pleased to arrange for any tapestry panels to be set up in other venues that are open to the public.

Booking

Tickets for the exhibition can be pre-booked via Eventbrite for a 45 minute viewing slot. This approach will helps maintain good social distancing measures.
