The Quaker Tapestry is on the road again – for the fifteenth successive year – travelling to Northern Ireland for the first time.

The 2015 roadshow will appear in Scotland first, at New Lanark Mills World Heritage Site in August, and then in September visit Northern Ireland where it will be on display in the Lisburn Museum and Irish Linen Centre in the centre of the town. Between them, the two venues are expected to attract more than 10,000 people. Several staff and volunteers from the Kendal-based tapestry museum will accompany the panels.
