Visit to the National Needlework Archive in Newbury

We will visit the two current exhibitions, one of which is The Country Wife textile mural made by Constance Howard for the Festival of Britain in 1951. This large wall hanging, 4.5m x 5m, is currently undergoing conservation by the expert team at the NNA. We will also have the opportunity to view the original 1921 Adderbury & Milton WI banner and discuss the possibility of taking part in its conservation. Tea and cake will be available during the afternoon. We will need to leave Adderbury Institute by 11.00am in order to be sure to be there in plenty of time for our visit at 1.30pm. Hopefully we will be back home around 6 to 6.30pm.
