First Wednesdays

First Wednesdays is a series of lunchtime guided visits held on the first Wednesdays of every month.  Short talks about the exhibition on view are given by a different expert in the field each time.  The visit lasts from 1.00pm to 1.30pm and is followed by refreshments.  All programmes are free and open to the public.  Due to the popularity of our First Wednesdays series it is advised that visitors RSVP in advance of the event.
