Yarn art telling the stories of life in Britain during World War II will go on display in Stoke-on-Trent next month.

An 80-metre knitted and crocheted depiction titled Britain at War will go on show at Stoke Minster from Saturday 4 - Wednesday 29 October.

The Longest Yarn 2: Britain at War exhibition follows the success of The Longest Yarn: D-Day held at the same venue last year.

Scenes depict significant events such as D-Day and The Blitz as well as services including the Women’s Land Army and the Home Guard.

The creations will be accompanied by ‘The Gang’, eight life size figures representing the services that worked tirelessly during the war, including a Land Girl and a Spitfire pilot.

The panels, each created with guidance from historians, have been made by groups across the country including one in Staffordshire.

Entry is free with a suggested donation of £5 per adult., find out more at visitstoke.co.uk.
