I’ve had a lovely week last week as we had graduations in Tullie’s Lecture Theatre. Although the actual graduations took place in Carlisle Cathedral, unfortunately the Cathedral always gets over subscribed so those who can’t get in the Cathedral can watch the graduations via video link in Tullie House. As you walked past the lecture theatre you heard the occasional cheer and applause! I think it’s a lovely idea to have a video link as it would horrible if you have to miss you child’s or grandchild’s graduation, so it’s really nice they had the opportunity to still see it.

As well as the graduations Katie and I made a display in Tullie House’s foyer promoting an up coming 1930’s themed event called ‘Murder-Lite-Night – The Curious Croquet Corpse’. The event is being run by the company ‘Highly Suspect’ who create opportunities for guests to play detective in solving a murder mystery! The event is going to be held outside in the Tullie House garden where games such as croquet and quoits are going to be played! I’m even working at the event so I’m really excited!

I have also just been trained to hold the summer holiday’s activities. I was shown how to set up the area and what the activity is going to be! It’s called ‘Richard Slee’s Play and Play’ activity, inspired by the current exhibition we have in the Art Gallery created by Richard Slee. It involves decorating items you wouldn’t normally decorate and it looks great fun! Definitely an activity to bring the children too!

Anyway, I hope to see you there! I’ve had a lovely week last week as we had graduations in Tullie’s Lecture Theatre.
