Audio Described Tour of Expecting

Join an audio described tour of the Wellcome Collection display, 'Expecting: Birth, Belief and Protection'. Your tour guide will describe key visual elements and discuss highlights of the exhibition.

The tour takes place during a Lights Up session, during which the gallery will have more even lighting conditions. To protect the historic scrolls in the display, which are fragile and light-sensitive, the lighting will not be as bright as in other Lights Up events.

Need to know

We’ll be in Gallery 3. To get there, go up the stairs or take the lift to level 1.

Place not guaranteed

Waiting list

If this event is fully booked, you may still be able to attend. We will operate a waiting list, which opens 30 minutes before this event starts. Arrive early, and we’ll give you a numbered ticket. If there are any unfilled places just before the start time, we will invite you to enter in order of ticket number.
