Host the Table Runner
Bring the stories, creativity, and community spirit of the Table Runner to your organisation or venue.
Continue the Journey
The journey of the Community Table Runner does not end with its creation.
As the runner continues to travel to locations across Lichfield and beyond, it carries with it the stories, creativity, memories, and community spirit of the people who created it.
We are now welcoming enquiries from organisations interested in hosting the Table Runner as part of exhibitions, educational programmes, community events, heritage displays, talks, or creative projects.

Carefully preserved and thoughtfully displayed, the Community Table Runner is intended to remain a lasting legacy for future generations.
