Highly recommended. Free entrance and a lot of things to see.

I thoroughly enjoyed my tour of the library on the recent uk bank holiday.

The Duke Humphrey Library was absolutely stunning and magical! It was one of a kind, and what a beauty to see the books withstanding years of changes! I also visited the Divinity School, Convocation House and Chancellor’s Court. Such an eye-opening experience and shoutout to the experienced guide!
