Open Day, 23 March, 2013

MORE than 160 people from across South Yorkshire and Derbyshire braved the elements on Saturday to attend the Cutlers’ Hall Open Day.  All were delighted that the event went ahead as planned. Many were from historical and heritage groups but many too were people from Sheffield and beyond who had a fondness for the building.

The guided tours which, together with the entrance, were free of charge proved very popular. The archivist Joan Unwin and former archivist, The Mistress Cutler, Julie MacDonald, were kept very busy throughout the day.
