All events for Half Term Family Fun at Bath Abbey

A rare opportunity to view important manuscripts from the Abbey’s Archive. They will include commemorative books, parish registers, a Book of Remembrance and other examples of finely written documents. There will be the chance to learn the art of Palaeography (deciphering difficult to read writing) from the Abbey’s archivist and volunteers. Meet costumed experts in historic medieval calligraphy who will demonstrate their skills and give tips to try out quills and nib pens for themselves. Feel inspired by stunning examples…
