Heritage

It’s hands-on history for all at our special Heritage Day at Mansfield Library. This will be the 10th year that Mansfield has hosted Inspire’s popular FREE history event and we’ll be celebrating with a fun-filled day of activities and attractions! Join us to explore pop-up museums and local history displays, find out about family history, browse the books for sale, and get hands-on with fun crafts and activities for all the family.

To mark the 60th anniversary of the Beatles performing in Mansfield, there will also be themed music performances during the day. If you haven't quite got your 1960s music fix, our Twisting and Jiving family concert will also be taking place in the library on the same day at 11am. Tickets for the concert must be booked and cost £4 for library members and £7 for non-library members.

Mrs B’s café will be open for refreshments on the mezzanine floor.

Don't forget we will be offering heritage-themed events in lots of Inspire libraries throughout May, join us to celebrate local and community history! Find out what’s on near you.
