The Bayeux Tapestry returns to England

The autumn’s undisputed historical headline is the arrival of the nearly 1000-year-old Bayeux Tapestry at the British Museum, which opened on 10 September. Hailed as the exhibition of the century, unsurprisingly tickets are sold out for this year, however, we have access to a limited number of private viewings.
Please see our Bayeux Tapestry experience featured in our brochure.

Here’s an extract:

This year we’re delighted to bring you exclusive access to the magnificent sold-out ‘exhibition of the century’ showcasing the Bayeux Tapestry, one of the world’s most important historic treasures. This superb experience is available on select dates only and is in exceptionally high demand. The 11th-century artwork tells the story of events leading up to the Battle of Hastings in 1066, in words and images. Following a private viewing of this breathtaking treasure you will have the chance to explore highlights of the museum without the public, guided by an expert.

The timing is particularly significant: 2026 marks 960 years since the Battle of Hastings, making the tapestry an unusually evocative way to encounter one of the defining episodes in British history.

Frida – The Making of an Icon – Tate Modern, Bankside – till 3rd January 2027

One cannot but love Frida Kahlo. Her striking art is born from her very personal unfiltered pain, magnificently embellished with a visceral appreciation of beauty nature and truth. She reveals all of herself with a bravery and skill that endures her to millions and as she’s more and more widely appreciated elevating her to the status of icon seems most fitting.

We can arrange a private tour of the Tate Modern so that you’ll have the rare opportunity to enjoy her work without the crowds, hearing from an expert and savouring the highlights of the Tate in addition to the Frida exhibition.

Luminescence at Westminster Cathedral – till the 27th September

We adore an immersive light show that combines sound and vision within a spectacular historic setting, transporting you to magical realms.

The experience transforms the iconic Neo-Byzantine mother church into a spectacular digital canvas, using 24 state-of-the-art laser projectors to map breathtaking imagery across its grand interiors, arches, and over 100 varieties of marble transforming Westminster Cathedral with a dazzling 360° experience like no other.

Together with the breathtaking visuals that envelop the viewer the audience will hear the story of London and one of its most important cathedrals in this specially commissioned script by BAFTA and Olivier Award winner Tim Whitnall, voiced by star of Paddington and Downton Abbey, Hugh Bonneville.

There are live performances from classical music’s greatest composers, brought to life by the phenomenal Lux Aeterna choir.
