About the event

Gain an insight into the fascinating British Civil Wars through a combination of vivid descriptions and tactile experiences, along with sounds and smells that bring to life the stories of the Museum’s collections.

This is an opportunity to explore our Formation gallery primarily through touch and description. We welcome those who would particularly benefit from this approach, such as visitors who are blind, partially sighted or who have complex support needs.
