Tickets to See the Bayeux Tapestry Will Cost As Much As $45 A Piece
The British Museum announced that tickets for its Bayeux Tapestry exhibition—running September 10 through July 11, 2027—will cost up to £33 (about $45) for peak times, with off-peak adult tickets priced at £27. Student and disabled visitor tickets will be a flat £25, and a limited “super off-peak” weekday last-slot option will also cost £25; all tickets include a 40-minute viewing. The first and last two weeks of the show will be priced as peak regardless of time, and members must still book time slots and are limited to two free visits over the run. The 230-foot-long tapestry, depicting 58 scenes and 626 characters from the Norman invasion of 1066, will be shown in the UK for the first time in over 900 years as part of a France–UK loan agreement that includes sending Sutton Hoo objects and the 12th-century Lewis chess pieces to Normandy, alongside an outdoor installation, “Tapestry of Trees,” by garden designer Andy Sturgeon.
