Memorial Quilt Tour 2026

In the autumn of 2025, we brought twenty Memorial Quilts from around the UK together at Parliament in London. In the coming summer, we will bring all of these (and more) together for a five venue Tour of the UK. The Memorial Quilts will visit Edinburgh, Liverpool area, Birmingham, Plymouth area, and the Southampton area.

As the pictures from the Memorial Quilt Exhibition in Parliament demonstrate, exhibiting all of the Quilts together is an extraordinarily powerful and moving expression of loss from suicide. The Squares on the physical Memorial Quilts, along with those on the website Quilt, represent more than 800 individuals lost to suicide. They help visitors appreciate the scale of the suicide loss that the country experiences every year, and the massive diversity of the families and friend groups that are impacted.

The Tour will run from late July until mid-September; precise dates and venues will be available here at the end of May 2026. Please check back to see our Tour details, and schedule the opportunity to join one of our exhibit events.

Our first venue announced here: Festival of Quilts.
