The Bayeux Tapestry: Stories through Stitch
Tuesday 12th January – Wednesday 31st March 2027
Tuesday–Saturday, 10am–4pm
The Nicholson Institute Museum & Art Gallery, Stockwell Street, Leek, ST13 6DW
Discover the fascinating story of the Bayeux Tapestry and its special connection to Leek in this new exhibition, presented as part of Bayeux Around Britain: a British Museum partnership, supported by WorldQuant.
The Bayeux Tapestry is nearly 1,000 years old, but its stories continue to inspire people today. The exhibition explores the materials, making and stories of the tapestry, alongside Leek’s own remarkable connection to it.
Three artists have been commissioned by OUTSIDE to create new work inspired by Leek’s connection to the Bayeux Tapestry, bringing local history and textile heritage into conversation with contemporary creativity.
