More than seven million people are expected to have the “once-in-a-lifetime experience” of seeing the Bayeux Tapestry in London after tickets go on sale in July.

Tickets to see the tapestry at the British Museum will go on sale on July 1, and around 7.5 million people are expected to visit as it returns to UK soil for the first since it was made almost 1,000 years ago.
