Huddersfield Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church is proud to announce the public launch of Windrush on Tour, an ambitious new project celebrating the enduring legacy and contributions of the Windrush generation across Kirklees.

The project shares a striking 6m x 2.28m travelling photographic and digital tapestry, co-produced with local artists, church members, and the wider community. The artwork will showcase Huddersfield’s Windrush heritage and highlight contributions across a range of sectors, including the NHS, transport, education, community activism, textiles, politics, heritage, culture, sport, and faith.

More than a traditional exhibition, Windrush on Tour combines physical and digital storytelling. Through QR-code-linked oral histories, the project will create a lasting online archive of authentic migration experiences, preserving personal stories for future generations.

The completed tapestry will tour at least seven venues across Kirklees, including schools, colleges, libraries, and the University of Huddersfield. The tour is expected to engage more than 5,000 people, fostering greater understanding of the Windrush generation’s impact on local communities.

Launching as part of National Windrush Day 2026, the project invites members of the public to help shape the artwork by sharing the stories, people, and symbols they believe should be represented through a community questionnaire.

This event is by invitation only. For more information please email huddersfieldsda@gmail.com
