Upcoming Tours

Important Tour Route Update: Please be aware that the Cloisters on the University of Glasgow campus will be inaccessible from the 13th-20th October 2024 due to an event being held in that space during that period. The Cloisters area is a brief stop on the historical tour route. All public and private tours scheduled during this period will still go ahead, but will not include a stop directly in the Cloisters. If you have any queries or concerns about this before booking a historical tour with us, please feel free to get in touch at boxoffice@src.gla.ac.uk.
