Further

From 1st July to 30th
September the Lindisfarne Gospels and the St. Cuthbert Gospel, on loan from
the British Library, will be the centre piece at a unique exhibition in the
Durham University Palace Green Library. Also
on display will be artefacts from national collections including those of
Durham Cathedral and Durham University.
We have
secured a limited number of group tickets for the 3.00pm tour on Thursday 11th.
July and these are on sale from this evening at £6.50 each. Initially as the numbers are limited it will
be necessary to restrict tickets to 2 per couple and 2 per single member. The tickets are non-refundable and therefore available
only on a pre-paid basis. Temporary
tickets will be issued, by the Treasurer, in the first instance.
The whole
of the World Heritage site surrounding Palace Green will be closed off to
traffic and therefore the decision has been taken to travel independently to
Durham and make use of the excellent “Park & Ride” facilities which link
with the Cathedral Hopper Bus. Full
detail will be provided for both in due course to those members going on the
visit.
Subject to
interest shown it is also proposed to combine this visit with an optional 75
minute guided tour of the Cathedral, starting at 11.00am. This could be followed by an optional reserved
lunch, hopefully served in the Prior’s Hall of the Cathedral. The cost for the guided tour is £5 and the
combined tour and lunch £12, payable only when arrangements are finalised.
Forms are
available to express your interest in the options available.
