Visually Impaired sessions with trained volunteers

We're now offering dedicated sessions for visitors who are visually impaired,. Supported by trained volunteers who can provide tailored, one to one guidance.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

These sessions create a calm and welcoming environment where visitors can explore the Chapel at their own pace with volunteers on hand to offer audio descriptions, gentle orientation support and additional context about Stanley Spencer's work. Our aim is to make every visit meaningful, accessible and enjoyable, ensuring that all members of our community feel confident and valued when visiting Sandham.
