We had a lovely time meeting our new members earlier this month, as well as some local new faces we were delighted to learn that people had travelled from Whitby to enjoy their free tour of Durham Cathedral, catch a glimpse of the new Peace Doves installation and see the new exhibition in Durham Cathedral Museum.
A huge thankyou to our lovely tour guide Jeanne who’s knowledge of the cathedral, facts and stories amazed the group. We then headed back to Prior’s Hall for tea and delicious scones (freshly baked by Christine) and enjoyed getting to know all about our new friends. Thank you to our trusty team of volunteers and everyone who helped out on the day,
Next up:
Monday 2nd September, 7pm Prior’s Hall, Durham Cathedral.
