Longest Yarn 2 Britain at War

After the success of The Longest Yarn that toured the UK last year and currently touring USA, we are delighted that Welshpool Town Hall has been chosen to be a host venue for 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 September 3rd 1939 to VE Day on 8th 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.

There will be asmallnumber of tickets set aside each day for walk-ups, but when they're gone they're gone, so it is highly recommended tobookyour tickets in advanceto guarantee entry.

Entry: £5 suggested donation per adult (payable on arrival). All donations will help local charities & voluntary organisations.
