About The Fishguard Tapestry

In 1797 a French force landed three miles west of Fishguard in Pembrokeshire, Wales – the last ever invasion of mainland Britain ever to take place.

Commissioned as a permanent legacy as part of the Invasion Bicentenary commemorations in 1997, the 100 foot long Last Invasion Tapestry which took almost 80 people four years to complete tells this unique and fascinating story of the last invasion of mainland Britain.

Located in a purpose built 30 meter gallery within Fishguard Library, the Last Invasion Tapestry exhibition also features items and films, where you can discover more about the bicentenary events, the last invasion and the making of the Tapestry.
