Treasures of the Medieval Library Exhibition - Heritage Open Days

Friday 12 September, 10.30am-1pm & 1.30pm-4pm

Get up close to treasures from the Cathedral Library, specially brought to the Chapter House on the ground floor.

Normally accessible only by appointment and via a spiral staircase, the Library can be difficult to visit for some. Therefore this opportunity aims to remove any barriers and share the Library's wonders with everyone.

The display will feature our volunteers’ favourite items, spanning the Cathedral’s history from its days as a medieval abbey through to more modern times.

Drop in any time. No booking.
