BAYEUX TAPESTRY Exhibition at the British Museum on Thursday 8th October
We have managed to acquire 20 tickets for the BAYEUX TAPESTRY Exhibition at the British Museum on Thursday 8th October at 12.00
Cost: £31 per ticket
For the first time since it was made nearly 1000 years ago, the Bayeux Tapestry is returning to England.
Following a historic agreement with France, the 70 metre-long tapestry, depicting events leading up to the Battle of Hastings and the Norman Conquest of England, will be loaned to the British Museum from September 2026 to July 2027.
This monumental embroidery tells the dramatic story of a moment that changed England forever. No year in the country's history is more famous than 1066. It was the last time England was successfully invaded, and it is the year from which the modern monarchy dates itself. And there is no other object that is as instantly recognisable, as studied in schools and as copied by artists as the Bayeux Tapestry.
One of the wonders of the medieval world, the Tapestry offers a vision of life in 11th-century England both before and after the Conquest, from castles, warfare and ships to clothing, food and furniture. Likely commissioned by a Norman patron and made by English embroiderers, using manuscript drawings from Canterbury, the Tapestry is both a precious historical record and a remarkable work of art.
Tickets were sold out for the first 3 months on the first day of booking!
Please book quickly!
Showcoach pre-Christmas trip to Sadler's Wells on Thursday 17th December.
Please join us for our pre-Christmas trip to Sadlers Wells on Thursday 17th December at 2.30 to see Matthew Bourne’s CINDERELLA, a thrilling and evocative love story set in London during 2nd World War.
His epic interpretation of the classic fairytale has, at its heart, a true war-time romance. A chance meeting results in a magical night for Cinderella and her dashing young RAF pilot, together just long enough to fall in love before being parted by the horrors of the Blitz. Cinderella is both a tribute and a testimonial to the spirit of London during a time when every second counted and lives were changed forever.
Matthew Bourne’s vivid storytelling has never been more heart stopping and touching, creating a unique and unforgettable depiction of a familiar but timeless fable set to Prokofiev’s charming score.
We only have 29 tickets for this trip so please sign up quickly
Cost is £98 which includes coach and excellent seats in the stalls
