Henry Moore Accessible Programme
Interact with Henry Moore's sculptures at your own pace
We want everyone to be able to get the most out of their visit to the exhibition, so we’ve developed the Henry Moore Accessible Programme with additional interactive, sensory and engaging offers for visitors with access needs.
Touch tours
Explore Henry Moore’s sculptures up close in a multi-sensory guided walking tour, designed for partially sighted and blind visitors and their companions.
In these tours, visitors will be invited to explore the artworks up close with their hands, while also listening to audio descriptions of their surroundings.
Please note that places are limited and advance booking is essential.

Accessible routes and maps
Discover a curated selection of Henry Moore's sculptures via an accessible trail, which should take around 45 minutes. You can collect a physical map from any of the four visitor entrance gates or download the accessible trail map online.
A second map shows all sculpture locations with details of the paths across the Gardens and their accessibility. This is also available at any entrance gate, or you can download the accessible map with sculpture locations online.
Coming soon, tactile (braille) maps of both the sculpture locations and the accessible trail route will be available to borrow during your visit. Please note that the tactile maps will be subject to availability and can be picked up on entry into the Gardens.
Visual guide
Explore the online visual guide to find out what to expect from the Henry Moore: Monumental Nature exhibition. It describes the experience and surroundings around the Gardens, helping you to prepare for your visit.
Audio recordings
Some information panels near the sculptures include audio recordings with additional stories, which can be accessed via QR codes on the panels.
From late summer, there will also be an audio-described tour around the accessible trail.
The Gallery Exhibition
Continue exploring Henry Moore: Monumental Nature at the Shirley Sherwood Gallery of Botanical Art, whose wheelchair-accessible space has an exhibition featuring more than 90 smaller works by Moore, including sculpture, drawings, models and sketchbooks.
Please note that while electric wheelchairs are permitted, size limitations may apply, and we're unable to accommodate mobility scooters or buggies.
Organised with the Henry Moore Foundation
This exhibition is organised in partnership with the Henry Moore Foundation, founded by the artist and his family in 1977 to encourage public appreciation of the visual arts.
