Magazine Gateway Free Guided Tours

The Magazine Gateway, a building people regularly walk, cycle and drive past, opens its doors for blue
badge guided tours.

Originally a 15th century gateway into the former Newarke religious precinct, this building was later used as a munitions store during the English Civil War. The Guided Tours of the building by Blue Badge Guides includes fascinating architectural features and graffiti dating back to the 16th century.
