We can offer bespoke tours, talks and workshops at any of the museums to suit your needs.

Self-led Visits

You're welcome to bring your group for free self-guided visits to any of the museums during regular opening hours.

Whichever site you visit, you’ll find lots of inspiration in the exhibitions and displays.

You’ll just need to book your group in with us – we’ll then help you get them most from your time with us, and also so make sure the museums don’t get overcrowded. You can find info on how to book your visit here

Get in touch and book your visit

So that our museums don't get overcrowded, please book in advance for sessions and free self-guided trips. It also helps us if you can sign in at the front desk when you arrive, so we can tell our funders who has visited.
