Anyone know what the predicted change is for visitor numbers 'to' Urbis? I'm from Preston and remember the museum as a bit of a non-event there, but will be disappointed if it moves to Urbis - just because I currently go to Urbis maybe three times a year to see exhibitions - post the change I'd probably go once.
The Urbis? THE Urbis? Agh.Just 'Urbis', dear, surely?
Surely Lord Urbis of Cathedral Gardens
To be honest, John, we've given up worrying about that one. And just to clarify, the quadrupling of visitors refers to current NFM attendance, NOT current visitors to the Urbis.
It will rie they think from 100,000 pa to 400,000
I don't know John,they will be going to 'The asdoh' for a big shop next !
