Exhibition: Journeys - Asafo flags from the Karun Thakar collection at Dyrham Park

‘Journeys’ draws on highlights from Thakar’s global textile collections to explore themes of migration, trade, craftsmanship, colonialism, global history and beauty. Through the universal theme of ‘journeys’, the exhibitions reveal the complex histories of objects, materials, and people – examining both tangible heritage and living traditions. Vibrant textile displays and film will reveal stories often left untold and show how these historic houses were shaped by global connections and colonial legacies. In the house at Dyrham Park will be vibrant Asafo flags. One of the most important West African art forms, they fuse European naval insignia with local traditions and symbolism, reflecting resistance and adaptation during colonial encounters. Displayed throughout Dyrham’s interiors, and placed alongside portraits and objects, they will deepen narratives of 17th-century global trade and colonial history embedded in the house.

The Knight Watch with Thomas D. Lee at Mr B's Emporium

About From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Perilous Times (a huge Team B fave!), comes this sharp and witty caper, asking what happens when knights in armour return to fix the problems of a more modern world. Arthur's Round Table meets WW2 in this brilliantly fun take on history and mythology, perfect for fans of Terry Pratchett and Ben Aaronovitch! Thomas will be in conversation with Stark Holborn – games writer, film reviewer, and author of Nunslinger and the Factus Sequence, beginning with Ten Low. Can't make it to the event? Order a signed and dedicated copy here. About the book: A thousand years ago, the Knights of the Round Table made an oath to protect the realm forevermore. It's safe to say they didn't think it all the way through. Now Britain is embroiled in the Second World War, and the knights are still fighting the enemies of the realm. They're also fighting each other – Kay and Lancelot haven't spoken since Agincourt, and everyone wishes Agravain would stop speaking entirely. Isolde – known in myth and legend for her tragic romance with the knight Tristan – is fed up with her tragic reputation. In a time when women have more freedom than ever before, she's determined to strike out on her own. But when she discovers old enemies working alongside the Nazis, she realises she can't fight all of them by herself. It might be time to get the old band back together . . About the author: Thomas D. Lee is an author of fantastical and historical fiction.
