2 INNERVIEW EASTER TERM CONTINUED FROM OVERLEAF gatehouse, or any of the other entrances, visitors can appreciate Dickens’ words: ‘Who enters here leaves noise behind’. Within the Temple’s walls, buildings are steeped in history with the foundations of the Temple Church dating back to the Crusades and Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night receiving its first performances in Middle Temple Hall. Not only is the Temple the perfect setting for the training of barristers and the exercise of their profession, it is also a wonderful setting for a festival that will last throughout 2008. In this second of three brochures covering the year, you will find a wide range of events including concerts, recitals, debates and exhibitions which will bring great artists and the finest minds together to celebrate the values upheld by the Temple: excellence, scholarship, legal education, beauty and humanity. The Temple Church and its excellent choir are already well known, and the festival will of course involve them too. The festival began with a free open weekend in January when we welcomed 24,000 visitors who were able to enjoy unprecedented access to the buildings of the Temple and the Royal Courts of Justice. Having discovered this wonderful part of London, many have returned to enjoy some of the world-class events and activities which are taking place during the course of the year, and we hope you will be able to join them. The Temple Festival would not be possible without the significant financial support of many individuals and organisations, and we extend our grateful thanks to them all.
