An opportunity to look around this small, quirky museum and look back in time at the gas-fired domestic appliances used in the homes of yester-year. Museum entry is free. Please note – the gas museum is an old building and only the ground floor is wheelchair accessible. Public transport options are nearby, for those who prefer to join the outward walk to the gas museum and return to the city centre by bus afterwards. This is a great way to get outdoors, explore the city on foot, meet new people and discover something new. This walk is suitable for most.  Toilets are available in Leicester Museum &amp; Art Gallery at the start and end of the walk.</p><p><strong>Booking</strong></p><p>Walks are free to attend but please book  as numbers are limited.
