Gallery Tours

We’ll tailor guided tours of the gallery to your group’s needs. All our tours are led by a gallery educator, who will take you through the building – introducing highlights of the permanent collection, destination galleries and current special exhibitions.

'A wonderful tour by Ellie - most instructive, informative and beautifully delivered. So helpful to have a guide and be given knowledge of both paintings and the building. Next time we come we shall view everything in a new light'

Anne Matthews, University of the Third Age, Cheshire.
