Marilyn will explain the complexities of managing a historical site and making sustainability improvements, and show delegates around the large project currently underway.

Following light refreshments, there will be a discussion on the future of the Museums Facilities Manager Forum, looking at different funding options and considering how the Forum should be governed and managed.
