At the lunch interval on Saturday 6th April in the Long Room, our Heritage Advisory Group will be holding an Object Handling session. This is a great opportunity to learn, listen and pour over some historical memorabilia.
Due to its location, this will only be accessible to members.
The talk will start five minutes after the lunch break is called.
Scorecards Talk on Yorkshire Opponent Teams
Another event that is being facilitated by our Heritage Advisory Group; this is a great chance to relive some epic matches we have had against Leicestershire. Each short talk will be illustrated from our speaker’s vast personal collection of cricketing memorabilia, bringing each game to life.
This will take place at the lunch interval on Sunday 7th April in the Museum’s Cinema Space.
