Sleep, that essential activity that everybody needs. Storiel has a fascinating collection of sleep related objects not normally seen together. This exhibition will be a cosy, colourful celebration of patchwork quilts, traditional bed covers, night clothes, a cradle, hot water bottles and even a model of a traditional box bed, made in the 19th century. Many of the fabrics are over a hundred years old, made from locally produced wool and linen.
Join us for a special series of Friday afternoon talks exploring the theme of peace, inspired by the powerful legacy of the Welsh Women’s Peace Petition of 1923–24. Organised by the Friends of Storiel, each talk offers a different perspective on women’s involvement in peace movements, activism, and the stories that history often overlooks.
Join us at Storiel for a day of Peace — a day of creativity and reflection inspired by the Women’s Peace Petition. The event includes a morning stitching workshop with artist Bethan Hughes, where we’ll make symbolic envelopes of peace, followed by an afternoon gathering led by Linda Rogers with Carrie Pester — a gentle, worshipful space to reflect, share, and continue the journey of peace together. Bring your own lunch, and if you fancy a treat, coffee and cake will be available to buy in the café.
