Factory tours

Hear, see and feel history come to life.

Book a factory tour

In 2023 we will warmly welcome back visitor groups on factory tours to explore the evolution of the poppy, meet its makers and understand the life-changing support it still provides to this day.

Although our bookings calendar hasn't opened yet, register your interest in this unique experience and we will keep you updated. Tours are likely to re-start in early 2023 when we launch our brand new education facility, and we can't wait to show it off!

Lady Haig’s Poppy Factory is located in Edinburgh and is open all year round to individuals, groups and schools.
