That's a wrap on the 'Fragments' exhibition 🧵🪡

Today was really special with workshop participants visiting to see their creations on display. This exhibition wouldn't have been possible without them. We enjoyed cake and chat and catching up.

The community tapestry will now go on a little journey; first to Oddingley Hall, and then to Shenley Court Hall - back to where it all began in autumn 2025.

Thank you to the project funders William A Cadbury Charitable Trust. Thank you also to Tina Francis, and Jemma at Oddingley Hall and Rich and the volunteers at Shenley Welcomes
