Discovery Tours

Have you ever wanted to know more about the factory, machinery and bricks in our collection? Ever walked around the museum and wondered what you were looking at? Or had any burning questions about the life and times of the Bursledon Brick Company?

If so, we have good news! Once a month our experienced tour guides – Richard and Bob – will lead tours through the museum and answer your questions about the BBC and brickmaking in Bursledon.

Dates for 2024 are:

17th April 11.30am and 1.30pm

15th May 11.30am and 1.30pm

19th June 11.30am and 1.30pm

17th July 11.30am and 1.30pm

18th September 11.30am and 1.30pm

16th October 11.30am and 1.30pm

These engaging and informal tours, aimed at regular museum visitors, are included in the standard museum admission prices and do not need to be pre-booked. Tours last approximately one hour and you are welcome to stay on site and explore the museum and our collections after your tour.

Tours for larger groups and for organised adult groups (such as WI, U3A and Men’s Sheds) still need to be booked separately – for full details about booked group tours, click this link.
