WEYF 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 2 mile 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. Parking available at the venue.

In the event of bad weather – the group will have the option to enjoy the talk, tapestry and tea without the walk! There are a number of pre-event lunch options around Stamford Bridge including: The Balloon Tree Farm Shop and Café; No.10 Bistro and The Square Bakehouse.

Distance: 2 miles
