Bayeux Around Britain
24 April – 4 July 2027
In partnership with the British Museum, Ushaw is hosting a range of exhibitions, activities and displays to celebrate the return of the Bayeux Tapestry to Britain for the first time in almost 1,000 years.
We are delighted to join the nationwide programme designed by the British Museum to communicate the story and significance of the Bayeux Tapestry to as many people as possible.
Exhibitions will include an exploration of the Anglo-Saxon world through objects and books from Ushaw’s collections and a fine display of contemporary textile art by international members of the Quilt Art group.
Additional highlights will include timed showings of an exclusive 10-minute film on the Bayeux Tapestry and the Norman Conquest story it relates, and high-quality reproductions of the original Tapestry.
More details coming soon.
