After Hours Demo Evening

Join us as part of the After Hours at the Museum Scheme to see our collection come to life. A volunteer panel of retired printers and compositors, as well as volunteers from the Skills Transfer Programme, will demonstrate our collection in action. From the Linotype composing machine, to the Wharfedale printing press, to the Shaw Pen Ruling machine, witness the incredibly complex technologies that were used for centuries before our modern digital printers.

Free, drop-in

Supported by the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport through the After Hours at the Museum Scheme.
