About The Longest Yarn 2 Britain at War
Following the success of the original The Longest Yarn 80-metre depiction of the D-Day landings, this new exhibition continues the project’s mission of bringing history to life through large-scale, handcrafted textile art.
Come and see this powerful 80-meter textile installation that explores the social history of the Second World War — learn how ordinary people coped, endured, and adapted during years of wartime hardship and change.
The exhibition also features life-sized, hand-crafted “Army of Duty Calls” figures, honouring those who served both at home and on the front lines.
