Would you like to come along and have a free guided tour around the new and exciting exhibits in the GNM:Hancock? If so read on!

Four free tours have been arranged for different communities who may need particular assistance to access and enjoy the Great Exhibition of the North. You will find their details below:

A tour for older people or those have dementia will take place on Tuesday 10th July between 3:30pm and 4:30pm. The tour guide will be aware of specific communication and interpretation issues that older people may have and therefore the tour will cover as much of the exhibition as possible in the time available. This will mean people attending the tour will not feel rushed or hassled and can enjoy their museum visit fully.

Places must be booked by contacting via email on robert.latham@twmuseums.org.uk or telephone on 0191 277 2313. Bookings must be received by no later than midday on Friday 6th July.

There are up to 16 places available on each tour which includes support workers, guides or assistants. Please book early to avoid disappointment. Further information about the Great Exhibition of the North at https://greatnorthmuseum.org.uk/whats-on/accessible-exhibition-tou
