If you have a Lottery ticket or Scratchcard, you still have another week of chances to visit a number of locations around the country free of charge (or have some other sort of deal depending on location). Just check the website here.
I took the opportunity to go to Anglesey Abbey at the weekend.
One of the options is to book onto a free tour of the Royal Geographical Society.
This takes place tomorrow so you will have to be quick to book on.
During the tour we will delve into the stories, contexts, and interpretations of the objects on display throughout Lowther Lodge, the ‘home of Geography’ on Monday 17 March at 2.30pm and 3:30pm.
Discover how these items came to be part of the Society’s collections, the significance they hold within the history of exploration and geography, and the narratives they reveal about the individuals and cultures connected to them. From maps, artworks, to artifacts, including a globe from the Great Exhibition of 1851, this tour offers a unique opportunity to engage with our Collections in a meaningful and thought-provoking way.
Whether you are a long-serving Fellow or new to the Society, this tour promises to deepen your understanding and appreciation of the rich history housed at Lowther Lodge.
Every week National Lottery players raise over £30 million for good cause projects, like ours. That's why we’re pleased to be taking part in National Lottery Open Week, which celebrates the contribution of National Lottery players in supporting good causes over the past 30 years.
As a recipient of National Lottery funding, the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) has opened up our amazing two-million collections to inspire and inform everyone about our planet, it's people and environments.
