In celebration of our Swords of Lucknow display, join the Hands on Armour team to discover how, more than 200 years ago, the rulers of Lucknow used wondrous weapons and impressive armour to show off their status as the Nawabs of Awadh. 

Try on real and replica pieces from our handling collection and find out just how important a shiny sword could be in a city where you had to dress to impress.

Places are limited and allocated first-come, first-served on the day. For ages 5+.
