The Longest Yarn 2: Britain at War – Southwell Minster

Following on the heels of the successful exhibitions The Longest Yarn: D-Day and Threads Through the Bible, another beautiful display of craftsmanship is currently being exhibited at Southwell Minster.

After the success of The Longest Yarn last year, we are delighted that Southwell Minster has once again been chosen to host the UK-premiere of the highly anticipated follow-up exhibition, The Longest Yarn 2: Britain at War.

The Longest Yarn 2 is an exhibition made up of 80 panels of “wool art”, each 1m long. This time the focus will be on what it was like in Britain between the declaration of war on 3 September 1939 to VE Day on 8 May 1945. This includes significant events such the King’s Speech, D-Day, The Blitz, the bombing of major cities, Britain coping with the war, the Home Guard, the Women’s Land Army, rationing, and much more.

The exhibition continues until 27 September. Further details, including how to book tickets in advance can be found on the Southwell Minster website.
