About This Event

The Exhibition Closing Party will take place at the Museum of Croydon in London on 16 September 2026 at 18:00. The event will feature free creative workshops, tarot, music, and more inspired by Grayson Perry's 'Essex House Tapestries'.

Join us after hours for free creative workshops, tarot, music, and more inspired by Grayson Perry’s ‘Essex House Tapestries'

Last chance to see Grayson Perry's 'The Essex House Tapestries: The Life of Julie Cope' in Croydon!

Julie Cope is a fictional character created by Grayson Perry– an Essex everywoman whose story he has told through the two tapestries and extended ballad presented in the exhibition. The Essex House Tapestries: The Life of Julie Cope (2015) illustrate the key events in the heroine’s journey from her birth during the Canvey Island floods of 1953 to her untimely death in a tragic accident on a Colchester street.

These artworks represent, in Perry’s words, ‘the trials, tribulations, celebrations and mistakes of an average life’. To write Julie’s biography, he looked to the English ballad and folktale tradition, narrating a life that conveys the beauty, vibrancy and contradictions of the ordinary individual.

Open until 19 September 2026.
