Beverley Minster Tapestry Exhibition 2026
Year 5 & 6 Trip to Beverley Minster
What an amazing experience for our children this week as they visited Beverley Minster to explore Threads — a breathtaking textile exhibition like no other.
They discovered 30 incredible stitched panels, featuring over eight million stitches, each standing an impressive 3 metres high. Even more amazing, the whole work was created by artist Jacqui Parkinson over 10 years of dedication and creativity.
The children were fascinated to learn how the panels were made and loved exploring the stories and detail woven into every section.
A truly inspiring day filled with curiosity and creativity!
