This Local Peer Support Group provides a welcoming, safe and friendly opportunity for people with inherited sight loss to meet up to share experiences, tips and information.

We are pleased to invite you to join Retina UK's Mark Baxter and the group for our latest in-person Buckinghamshire local peer support group meet up where we will be visiting the Discover Bucks Museum in Aylesbury for an exclusive audio described touch tour.

Discover Bucks Museum, in the historic heart of Aylesbury, is a family friendly museum telling the story of the people and landscapes of Buckinghamshire, from 200 million years ago to today. In their main galleries they showcase the best of Bucks heritage: archaeology, social history, natural history, geology, art, costumes and photographs. They also house the famous Lenborough Hoard, one of the largest hoards of Anglo-Saxon silver coins ever found.

The museum is also running a ‘Beyond the Stars: a propmaker’s guide to the galaxy’ exhibition which showcases original models and props used in the making of the most iconic science fiction shows to appear on British TV, including Doctor Who, Red Dwarf and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

Visitors can journey through the realms of time and space and get up-close to the props and models that helped bring these beloved series to life. All the exhibits on display are screen-used and some have never been on public display before.

Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to experience some amazing artefacts specially arranged by the museum curators in a private room for us where tea and coffee will also be included. This event is kindly funded by the National Lottery Community Fund so will be free of charge to our community living with inherited sight loss and their sighted companion or guide.

Please meet us outside the entrance to the Discover Bucks Museum at 10.45am to be ready for our tour at 11am.

Please ensure that you register your attendance via the form below to secure your place as numbers are limited, thank you and we look forward to seeing you there!
