Wildlife Photographer of the Year Tour
Get behind the lens of some of the world's best wildlife photographers with this new Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition tour.
Join our hosts for a special tour of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition and discover the stories and details that didn't make it into the captions.
Have you ever wondered how a photography competition with almost 40,000 entries is judged? Or how wildlife photography can be used to make a difference to the natural world?
Get the answers to all your questions and have in-depth discussions about the award-winning images as you enjoy the quiet gallery in this engaging, 45-minute experience.
We'll introduce you to some of this year's surprising and poignant stories, as well as the impact that these photos have had on conservation efforts around the world.
Your tour ticket includes entry to the exhibition. Once the tour is finished you can explore the whole exhibition at your own pace, newly equipped with your extra knowledge.
