With 80 displays, each measuring one metre in length, depicting scenes of the world’s largest amphibious invasion, The Longest Yarn is something quite unique and not to be missed. The scenes include the build-up to D-Day in England, the horrors on the Landing Beaches and the bloody inland battles.
Created with guidance from professional historians to be accurate, each scene has been selected by the creator to depict the story of this momentous day in history.
Some of the scenes depict actual WW2 veterans that were in the theatre of war in Normandy on 6th June plus the lesser-known events in local towns and villages in Normandy.
180 knitters from across the world, including the UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, France and even people with NATO stationed in Europe, have joined in to help make this project happen.
There is no charge for entry but donations are invited. Tickets are not needed. All proceeds to Stoke Minster Charity 1193760.
