Audio guide
To access the audio guide
a. Download the ‘YourTour’ app (FREE) from either Apple App Store OR Google Play Store
b. Find the tour: ‘Reading Old Cemetery’
The tour is about 50 mins in duration and 1km in distance.
c. Touring remotely vs on-site: There are two ways to enjoy the tour: ‘Start the tour on-site’ or ‘Listen in Simulated mode’:
- If you are able to visit the Cemetery, download the app and enjoy it on site.
- If you want to access it from home, download it, go to ‘My Tours’ (on the app) and click on ‘Listen in Simulated Mode’.
Accessibility: There are areas of the site that are inaccessible or some paths are uneven. It was important for us to ensure that the guide would be downloadable and accessible from home. We will also make the script available on the website for people to read.
Thank you to all who have contributed and special thank you to: Richard Bentley (A Noisy Silence), Aundre Goddard (Berzerk Productions), Nino Aurrichio and Sam Proctor for making the guide happen!
Thank you also to actors from Berzerk Productions, to Prof Eek, Chris Bacon, Ilan Dwek, Annette Haworth, Gary Stone for lending their voices and bringing the characters to life!
Please note you DO NOT have to give a tip. Any tips go to YourTour, not the cemetery or University.
