Family Day: Bayeux and Year of the Normans 

Explore, create and play your way around gallery at October 2027 Family Day Hastings Contemporary’s family day. 

The Bayeux Tapestry has inspired generations of artists and makers, including figures such as David Hockney, and continues to spark a wide range of pop-culture interpretations. Its rich visual storytelling, abundance of animal imagery, and long, sequential format has even prompted comparisons to comic strips and graphic novels; it has been described as the first known British comic strip. 

These qualities make it an ideal springboard for family-friendly creative exploration in the galleries of Hastings Contemporary.
