Join us for a series of descriptive talks and object handling exploring key objects from the Museum’s collection. These free events are for blind and partially-sighted visitors and their companions. Tea and biscuits provided.

This month we explore a toy model of St John’s only historic ambulance, Sympathy, created in 1999 to promote the charity. We’ll talk about the model itself, as well as share the story of the 1920s ambulance it was based on, and which has served St John for decades. The session includes the opportunity to handle the model. Our guides have all been trained by VocalEyes.

This is a free ticketed event and takes place in the Museum Galleries which have step-free access throughout. For more information on getting to the Museum and our facilities please visit the Access Page on our website or call us on 020 7324 4005. Lines are monitored Wednesday – Saturday 10am – 5pm. Alternatively, you can email us on museum@sja.org.uk.

Numbers are limited to ensure everyone gets an opportunity to handle the objects.
