Eye was at Chester cathedral last week for the official opening of the Quaker Tapestry exhibition. Chester Friends say that you can drive to the city, park at the racecourse and walk in, but Eye chose the environmentally acceptable route of train and free city-centre bus.

Broadcaster Felicity Goodey, who cut the official ribbon, was so interested in the tapestry panels that she was still discussing them with her hosts when the tea ran out and the party had to repair to the refectory and haggle with the staff. On closer inspection this story doesn't hold up. We suspect that Tapestry trustee Jamie Wrench was so enthusiastically verbose, and the polite broadcaster so accommodating, that tea slipped right off the agenda.

The exhibition is on through February - not Sundays - from 10am to 4pm. Entry is free and there's an organ recital on Thursday lunchtimes.
