SS Great Britain, Bristol
An audio guide for blind and partially sighted visitors is available at the SS Great Britain. The audio guide was developed in partnership with a focus group of people who are blind or partially sighted, particularly Mark Austen, who originally audited the ship.
The audio guide takes visitors through the Museum and then guides them onto and around the ship itself. These are worn around the neck and have headphones. Two people can listen to the same audio guide at the same time by using a device available from the member of staff who issues the guide, please just ask. The audio guides are included in the price of an admission ticket. Accompanying sighted guides receive complimentary day tickets.
