TOURS of Reading Abbey’s recently restored Abbey Gateway will be offered during half-term.
Reading Museum is organsing the hour-long exploration of the medieval venue.
Organisers say that it is a chance to discover the building’s history and its role in the Abbey Quarter. The tour looks at the work of the monks in the town, Reading’s links to royalty and Jane Austen, and the conservation work that has brought the listed building back to life.
And, in groups of 10, people can access the Gateway rooftop for a rare aerial view of the Forbury Gardens and runs.
Due to the age of the building, there is no step-free access, and there are uneven floors.
Places cost £15, with a maximum of 15 people. It takes place from 2pm on Saturday, May 28.
