Live Adventurously

Discover the Quakers’ origins and their impact on society

From the scientific and industrial revolutions to social reform, peace and the abolition of slavery. The Tapestry explores how Quakers beliefs have shaped our world today.
The museum is currently closed and plans are being developed for future displays of the Tapestry and Collection. Please sign up to our newsletter and check our website and social media for updates.

Room hire

One of Kendal’s most popular venues for room hire

We were entranced not only by the Tapestry panels and the social history on display but also by the ambience of the Meeting House, the interpretation and information made available to us. It is a very good memory for us.
