A unique opportunity to prepare for one of the cultural events of the decade

To celebrate the historic return of the Bayeux Tapestry to Britain for the first time in almost 1,000 years, The Arts Society Steyning is delighted to present this special afternoon lecture by Imogen.

The Bayeux Tapestry is one of the world's most celebrated medieval treasures—an extraordinary work of art that vividly recounts the dramatic events leading to the Battle of Hastings in 1066 and the Norman Conquest, forever changing the course of English history.

In this captivating lecture, Imogen explores the enduring mysteries surrounding the tapestry: who created it, where it was made, and why this remarkable embroidered chronicle came into being. More than simply a record of a famous battle, it is a richly woven story of ambition, power, kingship, loyalty, betrayal and medieval life.

Through a close examination of its beautifully embroidered scenes, she uncovers the fascinating details, symbolism and hidden narratives that are often overlooked. Discover how this extraordinary masterpiece brings history vividly to life and why it remains one of the most important and intriguing works of medieval art ever created.

The special afternoon lecture begins at 2.00 pm and provides the perfect introduction for anyone planning to visit the Bayeux Tapestry exhibition at the British Museum, as well as those with a passion for history, art and medieval storytelling.

The lecture is free to members but you must purchase a ticket in advance as we expect this to be a popular event.

Tickets for non-members will go on sale on Monday 12th October, subject to availability.

Earlier the same day, Imogen will also present our regular morning lecture as part of The Arts Society Steyning's monthly programme, giving members the opportunity to enjoy two fascinating talks from this highly regarded lecturer.

Please note: lunch is not provided between the morning and afternoon lectures. Members attending both sessions are asked to make their own arrangements, with a variety of local pubs, cafés and restaurants available nearby.

With the British Museum exhibition expected to attract enormous interest, this is a rare opportunity to deepen your understanding of one of history's greatest masterpieces before seeing it for yourself. Whether you attend one lecture or both, don't miss this exceptional day of history, art and storytelling.
