Tate Britain Touch Tours

A unique opportunity for visually impaired and blind visitors to engage with selected artworks from the Tate collection displays

Touch Tours are delivered by two Visitor Engagement Assistant Touch Tour Guides. They include up to three artworks from the collection displays and are a combination of audio description and supervised touching artworks. Throughout the tour there is a focus on having a conversation about the art.

Our monthly bookable Touch Tours are designed for one visually impaired visitor and one sighted carer or companion. Advance booking is essential, please call us on +44 (0) 20 7887 8888 to book your tour.
