“The purpose of this school trip was to see the winning coronation benches. Because of the royal blue colour of the majority of them, I could see the detail of the black and white pictures that had been created by many young artists. My time at the Tower of London was educational, fun and everyone who worked there was very supportive and friendly. Every exhibit had braille below it which was amazing and meant I could read all the information along with my peers. The tactile exhibits were also wonderful and meant that my friend (who I was walking around with) could also experience it in the same way as me. My favourite exhibit was lifting the sword in the sensory room, I could really get a feel of the weight of it and I just thought this was awesome. The staff were supportive and helpful, letting my friend, my teaching assistant and I go separate ways to avoid big crowds. The paper information books were very tactile and helpful, however, obviously very well used and almost falling apart. I would recommend having more than one copy so that they can be shared out if there was ever more than one visually impaired person visiting the tower on one day. Overall, my experience was lovely, and I would love to go back again.” - Eleanor S, 8POR
