Visiting the Longest Yarn

We often receive questions about our exhibition venues, so we've put together some clarifications to help.

  • At The Longest Yarn, we do not manage venue operations. For accurate and up-to-date details, please contact the hosting location directly before planning your visit.
  • Exhibition dates may change without notice. To ensure a seamless experience, especially if traveling from afar, we recommend avoiding visits on the opening and closing days.
  • Planning a visit with a coach party? Please call ahead to reserve your arrival time to ensure a smooth experience.
  • Whenever possible, venues will accommodate guests waiting in line by providing seating.
  • All venues are wheelchair accessible, and this exhibition is particularly user-friendly, with displays set at an ideal height for easy viewing.
  • Please remember that cathedrals and churches are active places of worship, so services, funerals, or weddings may still take place during your visit.
  • Some venues welcome dogs, while others do not. To avoid confusion, please check the specific venue's pet policy directly.
  • "The Longest Yarn" books and merchandise can be purchased at the venue (subject to availability).
