SUMMARY:Live Captioned Talk + Tour
DESCRIPTION:3 – 4.15pm approximately  \nNew for 2027\, our team have created a Live Captioned Talk + Tour of Colchester Castle\, aimed at Deaf\, deafened and hard of hearing audiences. \nAccompanied by live captions and images\, our guide will first talk through the Castle’s 2\,000-year history! After a Q&A\, you will then be taken down into the Roman Vaults\, the foundations of the Temple of Claudius\, and up the Great Stairs. As our Wi-Fi does not extend underground\, we have signs and a pre-recorded\, captioned video that offer more fascinating insights. The tour ends on the Castle’s first floor galleries\, where you can explore our array of fascinating displays. \nThe Talk + Tour will start promptly at 3pm. We therefore ask visitors to take their seats 5 minutes beforehand. We would also recommend arriving earlier and exploring Colchester Castle before the event starts\, as you may not have enough time afterwards. \nThe Talk + Tour is suitable for ages 8+\, but primarily aimed at adults.  \nPlease note the tour includes climbing uneven stairs with no lift access\, crouching to pass through low archways\, and some uneven flooring underfoot. For anyone who would find this inaccessible\, a captioned\, virtual guided tour is available. It costs £1.50 to hire\, and you can request it at reception. We will provide a tablet with the tour preloaded\, along with headphones for your convenience. \nFor useful information\, such as how to find us and what facilities Colchester Castle has\, we recommend reading our Access information. \nLive-captions for this event are provided by our friends at Stagetext. If you’ve not experienced live-captions before\, you can find out more on their website. \nTickets cost £4.95 per adult and £2.85 per child after admission to the Castle. \nCareers are free to attend and do not have to get a ticket in advance.
