Offer details

Chetham’s Library is the oldest public library in the English-speaking world. As part of this year's National Lottery Open Week, the library is throwing open its doors and inviting you to join us for an afternoon behind-the-scenes event.

To celebrate the launch of our 'Lost and Found' exhibition, visitors will be able to explore the medieval building, encounter items from our collections and discover how we preserve them for future generations. Children and grown-ups alike can also take part in a fun scavenger hunt in the building.

The event will run from 1pm-4pm, with last entry at 3pm. Entry is free for one adult and up to two children under 16 with a valid National Lottery ticket.
