The Sunbury
Embroidery Gallery opened in the summer of 2006. In the first six months
since its opening it attracted over 15,000 visitors. The gallery is
located in the south-west corner of the Walled Garden, in Sunbury, which
dates from the 18th century. The garden, which is bounded on three sides
by Sunbury Park, was re-landscaped in 1986 to a formal design, and since
2004 it has been home to the Clematis Society’s southern collection of
some 300 plants. The garden is a short walk from the River Thames.
The Sunbury
Millennium Embroidery is on permanent display in the gallery and is
accompanied by a tactile guide for the visually impaired. The gallery is
also an educational resource with space for occasional exhibitions.
There is a café for visitors which serves teas, coffees and light
lunches.
The Gallery is
open six days a week throughout the year - admission FREE.
Please phone in
advance if you wish to make a group visit, or would like any further
information on the gallery.
