Apologies for
cross-posting
CILIP special
interest group UC & R (Wales) have arranged a visit to Hereford
Cathedral and associated exhibitions on July 7th 2006.
The visit will
start with lunch at the Cathedral at 12 noon, followed by some leisure time to
look around the Cathedral itself, visit the shop maybe!
There is a tour
of the Mappa Mundi exhibition scheduled for 2 pm, which will be followed by a
tour of the Chained Library. It is hoped that there will be time at the end
of this part of the visit to re-visit the Mappa Mundi exhibition for a
"self-directed" tour. The medieval Mappa Mundi and Chained Library are now
housed together in the award-winning New Library Building, designed by Whitfield
Partners and funded by Sir Paul Getty.
The visit is
free, but there will be a cost for your lunch obviously, along with an entrance
fee of £3.50 for the Mappa Mundi exhibition.
If you wish to
book a place on this visit please get in touch as places are
limited.
If you require
additional information please get back to me.
