Exhibitions

31 January 2012 to 29 February 2012
Quaker Tapestry Exhibition

Ely Cathedral hosts the world famous Quaker Tapestry. It tells the story of the Quaker movement and of its huge contribution to the political, economic & social development of this & other nations.

A captivating and colourful stitched tale of 350 years of social history is on display for the first time at Ely Cathedral.

Conceived by a brilliant embroiderer Anne Wynn-Wilson over 30 years ago, the 77 embroidered panels were made by 4,000 men, women and children from all over the world. Thirty nine of the inspirational panels will travel to Ely from their permanent home in the Lake District (Quaker Tapestry Exhibition Centre, Kendal).

The panels have travelled to over 150 venues in the UK, Europe and America in the last 20 years.

The free exhibition includes a film, audio guides, children’s activities, gift shop and embroidery demonstrations. Open 10am to 4pm, Monday to Saturday. Groups of 15 or more should book in advance.

Education

27 February 2012 - 10:00 AM to - 12:00 PM
FREE INSET sessions for teachers!

You or any other interested staff are invited to two free INSET sessions hosted by the Cathedral.

The first is on Monday 27 February and will be led by the exciting and highly innovative Barnabas in Schools Team, whose work is familiar to many schools.

The sessions run from 10-12 noon or 2.00 - 4.00pm and will be a lively mix of storytelling, drama and discussion on the theme of 'Who comes first?'. The classroom activities and approaches are particularly designed for this Olympic Year, but the consideration of the concepts of winners and losers and of sporting values will be relevant every year.

The second is a Twilight session on Wednesday 7 March 4.30 - 6.00pm and will be led jointly by the Education Officers at Norwich, Bury St Edmunds and Ely Cathedrals. We all have our own portable labyrinths that can be used in the Cathedrals or taken out to schools. The session for teachers will be about their use to explore issues, learn about the Christian story and reflect on our own journeys of life.

If you would like to come to either of these special sessions, please contact me on 01353 659668 or e-mail me on j.munt@cathedral.ely.anglican.org.

They will be pointless without you!
