EXHIBITION | Terrific Tapestries

Don’t worry if you can’t travel to London to see the Bayeux Tapestry at the British Museum – visit Knutsford Heritage Centre instead for its Terrific Tapestries exhibition!

This will showcase the 40ft long Knutsford Millennium Tapestry which contains 6,500,000 stitches across three panels and had contributions from 3,000 people from the town. It is a magnificent example of community involvement, capturing life in Knutsford in the year 2000, and is still relevant to many families and businesses in the town.

Discover the stories of both tapestries which were made nearly 1,000 years apart. Find out who commissioned them, who produced them, what they are made of and some of the hidden stories and scenes.

As well as information on the Knutsford tapestry there will be a display from the British Museum with beautiful images and videos of the Bayeux Tapestry on our new interactive kiosk as well as a printed display.
