Housed in a purpose built gallery in the Dorey Centre and complete with an audio guide (English, French or German), the Bailiwick of Guernsey Millennium Tapestry illustrates 1000 years of local history.
The Guersey Tapestry is split into 10 embroidered panels, each Panel covers one century and illustrates the major events and important traditions that have shaped the Island and Islanders. Each panel was stitched by residents of the 10 parishes of Guernsey and each one bears the crest of the Parish that stitched it. The stitching for the project took over two years to complete, with the last being placed on 6th December 1998.
The Guernsey Tapestry offers an enjoyable introduction to the history of the Island that is suitable for adults and children and some of the comments from the visitor's book are: 'Truly remarkable', 'Fascinating' and 'Magnificent'. There is also a gift shop selling unique souvenirs.
