The Bayeux Tapestry Colouring Book

In 2026, the UK welcomes the Bayeux Tapestry to British soil for the first time in 900 years, with a landmark exhibition at the British Museum.

With Tapestry enthusiast and medieval‑art lover Mia Hansson as your guide, celebrate this extraordinary moment: color your way through the story of the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, and bring some of the world’s most iconic embroidery to life in your own creative style.

Bring the Bayeux Tapestry to life by coloring 60 historic scenes featuring bishops, knights, ships, shields, horses and, of course, King Harold with the fateful arrow in his eye.

• Discover clear, artist‑friendly linework designed specifically for artists of all skill levels.
• Choose from 60 full‑page illustrations: simply select your scene and start coloring, using pencils, pens or felt-tips. Each design offers a precise, authentic outline to help you focus on creativity, mindfulness and the magic of medieval art.
• The coloring designs are presented chronologically, and with reference to their placement on the Tapestry, so you can easily navigate this extraordinary work of art and understand the historical drama as it unfolds.

Stunning line art, clear layouts and a detailed contents page prompts make this historical and artistic masterpiece accessible – whether you want to recreate the vivid energy of the battlefield, the elegance of courtly scenes, or the charm of the mythical creatures that appear throughout its borders.
