It's a shame I can't make it down to the exhibition.

Tapestry Bedlam...
There is currently a tapestry exhibition at Bethlam Royal Hospital (the very place we get the term 'bedlam' from). A 10 metre long woven tapestry coordinated by artist Mark McGowan depicting mental health experiences and thoughts of patients, carers, staff and volunteers.
