This is a rare chance to see how modern-day craftspeople use specialist techniques to restore the medieval Minster at York. Visitors will be able to speak to masons, carvers and carpenters who regularly work on the building.
As part of the event, visitors will be invited to take a trip up to the scaffolding of the Minster’s East Front, to see repair work first hand and understand more about how the cathedral was built. This area of the building is six hundred years old and has suffered heavy weather damage.
Trips to the scaffolding are on a first-come, first-served basis and visitors will be requested to make a donation to the Minster.
For more information, telephone York Minster 0044 1904 557200
