Group Visit Booking

We offer group access to the Museum for Universities. Capacity is limited to between 8-15 people and these visits are available on Fridays only at 11am, 2pm or 3.30pm. 

As a registered charity and free Museum, there is an admin fee of £120 for groups of up to 15 people. Please note because the Museum is very narrow, we cannot accommodate groups larger than 15 people in one time slot. If you would like to book for more than 15 people, please choose two separate group booking slots at checkout.

If you would like to request an introductory talk by one of our expert staff for your self-guided group visit, this can be arranged but must be booked and paid for in advance, for an additional non-refundable or exchangeable £75 fee. Please note this is only a 15 minutes introduction and not a full tour. You can choose this add-on at checkout. If a time cannot be selected then it has already been booked.

We are a Grade-I listed building with some narrow spaces and our collection is not protected by cabinets or glass. Our Visitor Assistants will give you a clear biodegradable plastic bag for any small items you’d like to carry and will store larger bags in our group locker. Unfortunately, we can’t take suitcases.

We strive to offer access to all visitors and have our own specially manufactured wheelchairs and lift access. Please contact us in advance on admin@soane.org.uk if you have any access requirements or further enquiries.

We are always trying to provide a better visitor experience. We will send you a link to the survey following your visit. Please help us by completing it and sharing your feedback. If you would like to opt out, please email mpatel@soane.org.uk.
