BSL House Tours

Belton Estate is running BSL House Tours on Tuesday 27 October, a guided walk through the house's rooms and collection with a British Sign Language interpreter. It's a tour of the interior, so you'll be moving through the rooms rather than just looking at a few highlights from the doorway.

The point of having the BSL interpreter there is so that visitors who are deaf or have hearing loss can take in the estate's history and art alongside their hearing companions. It's a shared experience rather than a separate one, which is the whole idea behind it. You'll be seeing the same rooms and hearing the same stories as everyone else in the group, just with the interpreter making sure the information is accessible to everyone.

Belton is one of the big estates around Lincoln, and the house is full of the kind of things that make these tours work — old rooms, family collections, and a fair bit of history to dig into. The tour takes you through the rooms and the collection, so you'll get a proper look at the interior of the house and the things kept inside it.

It starts at 11:00 on Tuesday 27 October, and tickets are £3.99.
