Step back in time and experience Britain during its most challenging yet triumphant era!
Join us for the extraordinary follow up to The Longest Yarn. Britain at War delves into life in Britain from September 3rd, 1939, to VE Day on May 8th, 1945 in crochet form.
This impressive display brings to life 'The Gang' - life-size representations of the heroes who saved Britain in its hour of need, from Land Girls to Spitfire Pilots. Each scene, meticulously crafted with guidance from historians, tells the unique and poignant story of this momentous period in history.
Inspired by Tansy Forster's admiration for toppers and yarn bombing events in the UK, this project began as a simple garden wall topper for the D-Day 80th Anniversary. However, it blossomed into a magnificent 80-meter work of art, representing 80 years and the 80 days of The Battle of Normandy.
Don't miss this chance to witness history come alive through art and storytelling. Be part of a global tribute to the resilience and bravery that defined an era.
