Upcoming Outings
Eye Matter outings meet at a London station, where you will be met by a guide if you haven’t brought your own, and taken to the venue. You will be guided back to the station after the event and handed over to station staff as necessary for further assistance.
We do theatre, museums, music venues, comedy and sporting activities and are always open to new suggestions.

If you are visually impaired, you will need to have an Access Card. Please see more information about the access card below.
What is the Access Card?
The physical card acts as a photo ID that can be used to easily communicate your access requirements to events and venues, so that the venues can provide accessibility to the needs of their visitors. It also works online with other platforms like ticketing systems, to unlock the access facilities you need. The card shows a photo ID and translates a person’s disability or impairment into symbols, effectively highlighting the barriers they face and the reasonable adjustments they might need.
The Access Card app provides you with a personalised directory of venues, with first-class accessibility information to help you plan your trips.
£15 for 3 years. To Apply:

The Hunterian Museum, named after the 18th century surgeon and anatomist John Hunter (1728-1793), includes the display of over 2,000 anatomical preparations from Hunter’s original collection, alongside instruments, equipment, models, paintings and archive material, which trace the history of surgery from ancient times to the latest robot-assisted operations. The Museum includes England’s largest public display of human anatomy
Visit the Hunterian Museum and through an audio-described tour find out about the life and work of the 18th-century surgeon and anatomist John Hunter, who the museum is named after. The tour will focus on 8–10 objects which show different aspects of Hunter’s quest to understand the life force of all living things, from the smallest plants to the largest creatures on earth.
After the tour there will be a relaxed Q&A with Dawn Kemp, the Hunterian Museum Director, and an informal object handling session.
This will be followed the lovely café at the museum where we are able to bring picnic or to pay for a yummy hot lunch.

on Sunday 22nd March 2026

Meet and Greet: 1:30pm, St Pancras Station, by the Midland Road Exit, at the Thameslink barriers.
Grieving the life you expected
All of us have expectations about life and the world around us. Some are societal, some we learn from friends and family, some we figure out for ourselves. The experience of sight loss is what we call a ‘non-finite loss’ in that it may occur as one event, but the repercussions are ongoing – and may interrupt or derail what we thought our life would be. Even if you are sight impaired from birth, you still might have absorbed ideas about a so-called ideal life and experience grief about those aspects you don’t have and fear for what the future holds.
In this special in-person workshop, there’ll be the chance to share experiences with your peers and, crucially, learn ways of re-working your expectations and letting go of fear.
