Special Collections Sunday : Fantasy
October 15, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm BST
From 27 October 2023 – End of February 2024, Central Library will be hosting a national touring exhibition by the British Library on Fantasy. The panel display will tell the story of the development of Fantasy from the earliest works up to the present day. In anticipation, we have been busy delving into our collections for fantastical books to exhibit alongside the panels and we invite you to join us for a Special Collections Sunday preview. The display will look at early works which have influenced fantasy literature. Step into the portal of the Bristol Room and be transported into strange worlds, fairy tales and the weird and uncanny …
Join us in the Bristol Room, Central Library, 15 October anytime between 2-4pm. This is an open event, no booking required. Please be aware that the capacity of the Bristol Room is limited and you may have to wait if there is a high demand. We are keen to make this event open to all interested whilst ensuring the safety of our visitors and the collections.
