Have you ever wondered what the collections in the St Bride Library hold beyond its well-known stars including the work of Pouchée, Eric Gill and our phenomenal collection of type specimens?

Then look no further . . .

We would like to invite you to join us for an intimate socially distanced evening held in The Bridewell Hall, to get a closer look at some of the hidden treasures in the St Bride collection and learn more about them from font of all knowledge, Bob Richardson.

Bob has been working and volunteering at St Bride for over 10 years. During that time, he has come to care for and know the collection inside out (well almost!); and when he comes across something new or interesting, he notes it down in a special little black book.

During the evening, he will be sharing some of the treasures listed in his book and will reveal their stories and history with you. It will be a very special and unique chance to see these items up close.

In-person tickets are strictly limited to 20 places so please book well in advance to avoid disappointment. (Price includes one free drink and nibbles).

*​For in-person tickets please ensure you arrive promptly as you will need to be seated before 7:00pm to ensure the live streaming of the online event is not disrupted.

Online tickets are unlimited and will be happening via Zoom. Please note you will be emailed the link at 6pm on the day of event
