The programme will begin at 10.30am and includes a long lunch break so participants have time to visit the exhibition at the Bar Convent Heritage Centre (not included).

This display runs until July 1 and is included in the entrance fee to the exhibition. For more information, visit bar-convent.org.uk/events.php.Lunches are available from the Bar Convent café. The final talk is at 2.30pm and the day ends with Mass in the chapel at around 4.30pm.
