We are inviting members of the public to go behind the scenes of the iconic Winter Gardens redevelopment. Join site tours led by the main contractor and get a first hand look at the transformation in progress, learn about the building's past and future, and hear how it is being brought back to life for future generations.

You can book your place on a Great Yarmouth Heritage Guide Tour here (opens new window) when bookings open on 27 August.

If you have already booked your place further event information is below.
