The Longest Yarn 2 is an exhibition made up of 80 panels of “wool art”, each 1m long. Following on from the success of The Longest Yarn (2024) this time the focus will be on what it was like in Britain between the declaration of war on September 3rd 1939 to VE Day on 8th May 1945. This includes significant events such the King’s Speech, The Blitz, the bombing of major cities, Britain coping with the war, the Home Guard, the Women’s Land Army, rationing, and much more.
Accompanying this will be ‘The Gang’ – life-size representatives of all the services that saved Britain in its hour of need – from a Land Girl to a Spitfire Pilot.
Please note there will be a small number of tickets set aside each day for walk-ups, but when they’re gone they’re gone, so it is highly recommended to book your ticket in advance to guarantee entry.
Entry: £5 suggested donation per adult on arrival.
