The Royal Collection Trust looks after the public opening of the Official Residences of The King and cares for the Royal Collection.

When the Covid pandemic hit the Royal Collection Trust took their regular free audio described tours online via Zoom and they have continued to do so post Covid.

The next Royal Collection Trust audio described online Zoom session will take place on Tuesday 4 July 2023 at 2pm and will be focusing on the Gold State Coach which of course did feature in the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles and Queen Camilla on Saturday 6 May 2023.

RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey was joined by Amy Stocker, Access Manager at the Royal Collection Trust to not only give a bit of background to the work of the RCT but also a hint of what blind and partially sighted people will experience during the online audio described Zoom session on the Gold State Coach. 

Amy also mentioned that there is a recorded audio described guide for the Royal Mews where you will be able to get a bit closer to the Gold State Coach, other coaches and vehicles which are on display at the Royal Mews.

To find out more about both the free online audio described Zoom sessions and details about the recorded audio described guide for the Royal Mews do visit the Royal Collection Trust website - https://www.rct.uk
