Volunteer Meetings and social things!

Preview tour of the Harris - Thursday 25th September 3pm - 5pm

Come along to this unique and special preview tour of the Harris in all its redesigned glory! This preview tour is just for you! It is one of 3 special events.

This preview gives us the opportunity to thank you for the big part you have played in the Harris project whilst you have a private preview of the building and all its contents once it is all finished, redisplayed, positioned and polished, before our official public opening. 

You will arrive at 3pm and be welcomed by Cabinet Member for Arts and Culture, along with our Assistant Director/Head of Arts and Culture. 

Followed by a self led tour of the Harris with staff positioned around the building to help and support you, answer your questions and generally animate the spaces they have been working on.

Refreshments will be available for you from our new cafe. 

We are offering 200 places to you for this event to make sure you can all come so it will be quite a busy one! Get it in your diary!
