This year the Friends’ Christmas event will be held at the John Rylands Library on Deansgate, in order to mark the purchase of the Colonna Missal, which the Friends generously supported. The historic entrance on Deansgate will be open especially for the occasion.

Enjoy a glass of bubbly in the Historic Reading Room on arrival. John Hodgson will give a short talk on the Colonna Missal and the process of its acquisition. Members will then have the opportunity to have a close look at several volumes of this wonderful manuscript. This will be followed by some musical entertainment then a hot buffet in the Café at the Rylands.

Tickets are £25 each.
