British Museum Announces Ticket Prices for Bayeux Tapestry Exhibition, Highlighting Historic Display
The British Museum has revealed the ticketing details for its upcoming Bayeux Tapestry exhibition, set to run from September 10, 2026, to July 11, 2027. This exhibition marks the first time the historic tapestry, which illustrates the 1066 Norman invasion and the Battle of Hastings, will be displayed in Britain in nearly a millennium. The top price for an adult ticket is set at £33, with off-peak tickets available for £27. Students and disabled visitors will be charged £25, and 'super-off-peak' tickets are priced at £25 for the last weekday slot during school terms. Members of the museum can book free timed tickets for two visits during the exhibition's run. The tapestry will be showcased in the Sainsbury Exhibitions Gallery while its usual home in Normandy undergoes renovations. Additionally, an installation titled 'Tapestry of Trees,' inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry, has been unveiled on the museum's forecourt, featuring 37 silver birch trees.
