The Battle of Stamford Bridge – a walk, talk and tapestry viewing

We have all heard of the ‘Bayeux Tapestry’ but closer to home – we have our very own which is just as impressive! Join us for a short walk and history talk about the Battle of Stamford Bridge – which took place on 25th September 1066 when the Saxons defeated the Vikings. Our walk takes us to the location of the great battle where a monument stands today, along to the old corn mill, across the stone bridge and along the railway viaduct before returning to the Platform 66 Heritage Centre where we can enjoy a private viewing of the Stamford Bridge Tapestry. Learn how the tapestry came about and how it was stitched whilst enjoying tea, coffee and cake.
