SOLD OUT

We will join Blue Blue Badge Guide, Viv Haxby, on an enlightening, in-depth and entertaining tour of The Coronation Church.  This spectacular gem of Gothic architecture has been the site of 39 coronations, and may Royal Weddings including that most recently of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

As well as telling you about the history of the Abbey, Viv will conjure up for you all the pomp and majestey of the important events which have taken place. There are 17 monachs buried in the Abbey along with countless other people who have had an impact on the political, literary and scientific life of our nation.  We will hear about some of them, as well as the moving story behind the Tomb of the unknown Warrior. 

 The Tour will take place on 25 January 2012 and we will meet outside the West Front of the Abbey at 10:45am.

Tickets are priced at £23 per head (£20 for those 60yrs +) and include entry into the Abbey.  For more information or to book your place please contact Karen Nowland in the Development Office.
