Step back in time this October half term and spend a day with the Normans at Norwich Castle! To celebrate the arrival of the Bayeux Tapestry in Britain, come along and meet Queen Adeliza and the stitchers of our Norwich Friends’ Tapestry. Try your hand at stitching and enjoy a craft activity inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry and its famous imagery.

Celebrate the 960th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings by exploring Anglo-Saxon and Norman arms and armour and join Knight Club to learn and practise medieval fighting techniques. There is also a special trail to discover rare and fascinating Norman objects.
