The Tank Museum is launching new British Sign Language guided tours on 7th July, as part of their expanding accessibility programme.
There are over over 150,00 BSL users in the UK and The Tank Museum is dedicated to improving the museum experience for hearing-impaired visitors.
The free BSL tours follow the successful introduction of quiet mornings and a new wellbeing room for visitors.
The tours will take place in the Museum’s flagship exhibition, the Tank Story Hall, which features the 32 most important tanks in the history of armoured warfare, from Little Willie, the first working prototype, to the current main battle tank, Challenger 2.
Visitor Experience General Manager, Rosanna Dean, said: “We are delighted to be able to welcome BSL users to the Museum on exclusive tours.

The free BSL tours are running on 7 July and 2 September 2023, pre-bookings are essential. Under-16s can bring one accompanying adult.
