And some come to attend one of the sixty or so varied cultural and community events that we run each year. Then, of course, there is our civic role as a gathering place in the city to mark significant national events (most recently the Platinum Jubilee, the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III).
