Join our Collections Team for an exclusive tour of the Trafalgar Sail, a rarely seen historical icon, and experience its significance up close.
Due to the unique and delicate nature of the sole surviving sail from the Battle of Trafalgar, it must be preserved under special conditions and isn't always on public display. These exclusive tours offer a rare opportunity to view the sail with a curator, delve into its history, and learn about the conservation techniques that ensure its preservation for the future. Advance booking is essential.
Tour times are 11.30am, 1.30pm, & 3pm on 10 and 11 September 2024.
