About this Event

Shakespeare Recovered

Free Curator-Led Tours

Discover the unique history of Durham’s First Folio, and the project to preserve and return it to public display by joining a member of the Shakespeare Recovered project team for a guided tour of our latest exhibition. Your guide will share their unique perspective as you view the First Folio back in its historic home of Bishop Cosin’s Library on Palace Green. During this 45 minute tour you will have the opportunity to hear insights from the guide’s own field of expertise which may be exhibition design, conservation, or rare book curation.

Tours are free but booking is essential


IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE YOUR VISIT:

Pricing - FREE ENTRY, but due to limited capacity in the library space booking is strongly recommended before arrival. Avoid disappointment with prior booking.

Arrive promptly for your booking as you'll be lead down to the showing at the start.

Accessibility - Due to the historic nature of the building, access to Cosin's Library to see the First Folio is only possible via steps.

Due to the nature and age of the historic library large bags won't be permitted inside. They'll be requested to be left in the lockers provided or coat storage. We'd recommend not to bring any large bags with you.
