On Tuesdays, from April through to September, all museum visitors can join our free guided tour with one of our volunteers.<\/p>\n

These tours start at 11.00am and last about an hour, taking you through our basement and scouring mill to discover how needles were made in Victorian times.<\/p>\n

Afterwards you can enjoy our temporary exhibition<\/a> and extensive needle collection at your leisure.<\/p>\n

There is no additional charge for the tour, it is included with your entry to the museum<\/a> and no booking is required.<\/p>\n

Group tours\/visits can be arranged separately on any day of the week.<\/p>\n
