Beautiful tapestry showcases Northern Ireland’s links with Game of Thrones®
Game of Thrones® season 7 has finally hit the screens. Northern Ireland is one of the main filming locations for the hit TV series, and to immortalise the unforgettable series locations, from Winterfell to the Iron Islands, Tourism Ireland has unveiled a giant, 77-metre long, Bayeux-style tapestry.
The epic tapestry brings to life the trials and tribulations of the show’s characters in its most heroic and infamous scenes.
The tapestry is made with linen from Northern Ireland and depicts Game of Thrones® seasons 1 to 6 – with blood red weddings, golden Lannister hair, emerald green wildfire, cold-blue White Walkers and jet black ravens. To explore the tapestry, visit www.ireland.com/tapestry.
The tapestry will be displayed in the Ulster Museum in Belfast, Northern Ireland, which will be open to the public from Saturday 22nd July, 2017.
Ballintoy, County Antrim
