Providing specialist audio description in situe of selected key works, a broader introduction to the exhibition as a whole, object handling where possible and a practical guided workshop session providing a taste of some of the materials and methods discussed. At all events we will be accompanied by our team of guides who will be available to offer personal guiding using rambletags.
If you haven’t used a rambletag before, it is a guiding cuff which means that you have no hand on arm physical touching with your guide. In addition, we always offer earphones for additional hearing support, large print and gallery chairs.
