About

The Longest Yarn 2– a thread through history

A study of Britain from 3rd September 1939 to VE Day, 8th May 1945. Covering all aspects of life: rationing, evacuees, the blitz, grim headlines during Britain’s darkest hour, ending in the euphoria of peace.

Britain at War showcases 80 engaging panels alongside a cast of life-sized characters, each representing key figures who played pivotal roles during the war.

This remarkable art work will be open to the public at St Macartin’s Cathedral, Enniskillen from 10th February to 20th March and is the only venue on the island of Ireland where the installation can be seen. Viewing takes place from 10am - 4pm each day 

While entry to see The Longest Yarn is free, donations towards the cost of hosting the event would be much appreciated by St Macartin’s Cathedral.
