Live screening of the funeral of Her Majesty the Queen

Running from
Last event: Monday 19 September 2022 at 9.30am

Storyhouse’s library and public spaces will be open to all on Monday 19 September from 9.30am to 7pm. We will be screening the day’s events on the big screen in The Kitchen, our main public space. If you and your friends or family would like to join us, we’d love to see you. We’ll be dispensing free tea and coffee throughout.

We understand the nature of this historic national event and recognise our role as a major public building at times like these. We’d particularly encourage anyone alone in the city at this time, and those who feel that they would like to share this significant day with others, to join us.

We’re open as usual to everyone and it is possible that this may be a very busy day, so please bear with us.

Thank you
