Group tours of the History Centre

Map Rolls
“Fantastica!”
“Very impressed”

– comments from our visitors, 2010

The History Centre can arrange free behind the scenes tours for groups.

The tours are an informal introduction to the History Centre:

  • Who we are
  • Why we’re here
  • What we keep
  • How the collections can be accessed.

A professional member of staff leads the tour. Tours take approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour and involve stairs and walking. We can accommodate groups of no more than 10 people. We must have advance notice of people who may have trouble with stairs so that we can arrange alternative tour routes.

Group tours can be arranged to begin between the following times:

Monday to Friday
10am – 11am and 2pm – 4pm.

Group tours are subject to staff availability. It is unlikely that we will be able to fulfil requests for tours at evenings and weekends due to reduced staffing levels.
