Trip to the Abbey House Museum

The Museum has a new exhibition each year, which is inspired by a theme from its collection, along with exciting events running throughout the year.

We will be organising a coach, picking up in Wakefield (behind the bus station on Union Street/Providence Street) at 11.30am. We will travel to The Abbey House Museum in Kirkstall and on arrival we will have lunch at the Kirkstall Abbey café, which is across the road from the Abbey House Museum.

At 2pm we will enjoy a touch tour of the museum, designed for people with sight loss and delivered by one of their specially trained  volunteers. This will take about an hour, after which there will be about 90 minutes for you to explore the museum independently, before we
rejoin our coach and return to Wakefield at 4.30pm. We aim to arrive back at Wakefield bus station just after 5pm.

The cost of the trip is just £20 per person which includes a contribution towards the cost of the transport, museum entry, and the touch tour.
Please note that lunch is not included and will need to be paid for separately.

Carers get free entry to the museum, so the cost of the trip for them is £13.20. We encourage anyone who needs a sighted guide for the day to bring someone with them if possible. If you need a sighted guide and would like someone from WDSA to accompany you, please let us know when booking and we will do our utmost to ensure that a trained volunteer is available.

Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

We expect this trip to be very popular, so please ring the office on 01924 215555 and book your place today!
