Bayeux Tapestry - The Full Yarn

Storyteller Daisy Black provides a hawk’s eye view of the Bayeux Tapestry. Storyteller Daisy Black provides a hawk’s eye view of the Bayeux Tapestry, where kings battle, oaths are broken and wheels of cheese are stolen by crafty foxes. The beasts of battle gather in the tapestry borders. Ravens, wolves, eagles. All creatures – common, fantastic, wild, domestic – hold their stitched breath as the battle gathers Waiting. Until at last, William and Harold face each other over some few feet of linen. The embroidered King wants to finish his church at Westminster. The English Earl and Norman Duke want the English throne. The hawk wants to be out in the fields, hunting for mice. Seventy metres of history in a single hour! This story is suitable for ages 8 and up. Anyone aged under 16yrs plus must be accompanied by an adult. This performance is part of Bayeux Around Britain supported by WorldQuant
