Surround yourself with over 1,000 years of history on this special audio-described sensory tour. Learn about the lives and legacies of people buried and remembered in the Abbey, while walking in the footsteps of both monks and monarchs.
This tour has been specially written to allow visually impaired visitors to experience the majesty of Westminster Abbey. The tour will be led by a trained member of staff and will include some tactile elements.
