Tunnel Tours Details

Businesses and institutions across the capital are creating themed products and events to coincide with the exhibition.
The experience begins at the museum with a short talk on board a boat before proceeding into the canal and through the tunnel. The tours are designed for small groups, with seating available on the outside of the barge to view the tunnel's historic brickwork. A floodlight on the barge illuminates the tunnel, and the exit remains visible, mitigating concerns about darkness, according to ianvisits.co.uk. The journey includes a segment where the tour guide highlights the industrial history at the tunnel's far end before the boat turns around.
For the Halloween period, the tours will feature ghost stories and appropriate decorations. Scheduled departures for the themed tunnel trips are at 11am, 12pm, and 2pm daily from October 29th to 31st. An additional 'Scream Tea' trip is offered at 3pm, which lasts longer and includes a Halloween-themed cream tea.
