Holiday Special: Illuminated letters

Bring your artistic skills along to our October school holiday program, and create a gorgeous Medieval style illuminated letter just like the monks used to. We will be starting the programme with a tour of the exhibition on the 3rd floor of the Library called “A Splendid Gathering : Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts” to inspire you.

Bookings are essential (no walk-ins) and number are limited to 10 per session - click the link to your chosen date to visit the booking page.

We will meet in the foyer on the 3rd floor, then after the tour we will be working on the 2nd floor at the back of the Teen Space.
