Welcome to the Royal School of Needlework To teach, practise and promote the art of hand embroidery
Open tours
Open tours allow individuals and small groups to form a larger collective tour group. If your group is of more than 10 people please see Group Tours. Each tour lasts approximately ninety minutes and you'll have the opportunity to see a selection of the many items from our embroidery Collection, which is rarely seen by the public, and to learn about the RSN's history. There is sometimes also an opportunity to see staff working on current Studio commissions. Requests for individual private tours can only be accommodated if the group rate (minimum 10 people) is paid.
These tours are held roughly once every two months. They are very popular and we suggest booking early to avoid disappointment. All tours must be pre-booked and paid for in advance.
