As part of Canterbury’s links with the Bayeux Tapestry, Marg Dier, a tutor from the Royal School of Needlework has designed a Bayeux-inspired motif for this special class.

As well as learning all the stitches needed to complete this project, there will be an opportunity for students to enjoy a short tour of some of the Norman delights our Cathedral has to offer.

* Bookings open in January 2027 *

This exclusive project is part of The Friends of Canterbury Cathedral's unique association with the Royal School of Needlework, dating back to the 1930s.

The class cost is £185 per student and includes all materials and necessary equipment to complete the project.

RSN and The Friends of Canterbury Cathedral have a long history of collaboration. In 1935 Dr E W Tristam designed a fabulous Friends of Canterbury Cathedral banner which was embroidered by the Royal School of Needlework; this has recently undergone conservation and will soon be returned for display in the Cathedral.
