Creative Dundee

Amps Behind the Scenes: Discovery Point

27th September, 10:00am at Discovery Point

Amps are invited to join us for a tour on board RRS Discovery at Discovery Point!


Our Amps network includes freelancers, students and people who support creativity in the city – including folks who work at some of Dundee’s cultural and creative organisations and institutions. Join us for a behind the scenes tour of RRS Discovery at Discovery Point!

Amps will be guided by the good folks at Discovery Point as we explore RRS Discovery – designed and built in Dundee in 1900 and currently being restored by the team. We’ll hear about the ship’s history, restoration and stories before time to connect and chat afterwards – grab a hot drink and meet other local artists, designers, makers and doers in the network.

Tickets are free, limited and available to supporters of our Amps network only. Booking is required, but if you’re unable to join us on the day, we’d be grateful if you could return your ticket so that someone else can attend.

Notes about access: the first half of this event is centred around boarding RRS Discovery – this includes steep step-access and varying light levels. The second half takes place inside Discovery Point. Anyone unable to or unsure about boarding the ship is most welcome to join us for either all or part of the event, which includes time to chat over refreshments. Assistance dogs are welcome. Information about access at Discovery Point is available via their website, Euan’s Guide and AccessAble. If you have any questions about access, please get in touch.
