National Trust relaxes visitors' rules

Advertisement

The National Trust is employing a more ''interactive'' approach to encourage more visitors to its stately homes.

Instead of not touching the exhibits and furnishings, members of the public will, in some cases, be allowed to get more involved with the historic surroundings - sitting on comfy chairs, handling artefacts, and even playing musical instruments.

Phil Lavelle reports.
