ART EXHIBITIONS Open 9-4 Monday - Saturday Cover photo by Jamie Newson-Smith of FlightSight W: www.flightsight.co.uk Welcome to the Christmas edition of What s On at Beverley Minster. The Minster is home to an active community open to all, so whether your interest is in events for all the family, music, wonderful architecture, or spirituality, you will find something here. Beverley was once famous as a place of sanctuary for fugitives from justice; times have changed, but we still aim to be a place of sanctuary, and invite you to find here a refuge in one of the most beautiful buildings in Europe, providing space for the soul and a feast for eyes and ears. Come and rest awhile, and you will be most welcome.
