Permanent display hope for Staffordshire Hoard
Saturday 13th August 2011, 8:57AM BST.
Donations made by visitors to this summer’s Staffordshire Hoard on Tour exhibition will help to create permanent galleries to display the Anglo-Saxon treasure.
More than 22,000 people visited the first leg of the tour at Stafford’s Shire Hall Gallery and all free tickets have been snapped up for the current display in Lichfield Cathedral which runs until August 21.
During its stay at the cathedral, another 14,000 people will visit to view some of the gold and silver objects which were unearthed at nearby Hammerwich in July 2009.
Although entrance to the tour displays is free, the Mercian Trail Partnership hopes that many thousands of pounds will come in from visitors’ donations.
