This event is open to visitors for a fee of £8.

They will also be having a Study Day on 26 March with Sue Rollin, titled ‘Two Desert Emporia: PALMYRA (Syria) & PETRA (Jordan)’

This day of special interest is an opportunity to explore Petra and Palmyra, two of the most fascinating ancient sites in the Middle East, and also to meet some of the intrepid travellers who ‘rediscovered’ these fabled cities and brought them to the attention of the Western world.
