We had a fantastic day exploring the world of pageants in print media in the University of St Andrews Special Collections Reading Room at Martyr’s Kirk Library, through the musical and spoken word performances at the historic St Leonard’s Chapel, and with the stimulating papers and discussions hosted by the School of English.
