The Coat of Hopes is a patchwork pilgrim coat, on an ongoing walk through Britain. Made, worn and walked by many hundreds of people during and since the pilgrimage on which it was created - from the south coast of England to the gates of COP 26, the UN climate summit, in Glasgow autumn 2021. The Coat is made up of pieces of blanket into which people have worked their griefs, remembrances, prayers and hopes for the place they call home. (More information about the coat is available at
The coat will be visiting Norwich from 27th February 2025 to March 22nd 2025. During this time it will be in the care of the Norwich Quakers at the Friends Meeting House in Goat Lane. The Coat will be made available for loan to community groups, faith groups and schools, where it can be worn with suitable care and, we hope, will stimulate discussion. When not on loan it will be on display at the Meeting House.
More details of times and availability will be given in the new year.
