From the Vault: Rare Finds Revealed

We’re bringing a selection of rare, vintage and collectible books out of storage and onto the shelves - uncovering some of the remarkable books and giving them a moment in the spotlight.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

As part of our Heritage Open Weekend, we’re opening the doors to some of the books that are usually tucked away in our storeroom. From the Vault: Rare Finds Revealed is a special book event showcasing a selection of rare, vintage and collectible books that have been donated to our second-hand bookshop over the years. For three days, visitors will have the opportunity to browse this special selection, explore some of the more unusual and interesting books in our care, and perhaps uncover a treasure of their own. All books featured will be for sale.
