We're excited to be at this event on Thursday 20th August at Rochester Cathedral. Not only are we looking forward to meeting people to talk about our work and hopefully provide lots of advice to visitors, but also as it coincides with the Art on the Delta exhibition taking place throughout August in the Cathedral. So if you fancy some culture (with a tactile tour, courtesy of Wendy Daws Art, who is exhibiting her work there) and a chat with our team, then pop by.
