Christ Church Cathedral choose Imagineear to create inclusive tours
Christ Church Cathedral is one of Ireland’s top visitor attractions and a place of pilgrimage, home to many important treasures, a magnificent nave and medieval crypt – reflecting part of the history of Ireland, both religious and political.
Christ Church Cathedral partnered with Imagineear team to produce an audio guide, available in five languages, including Irish Sign Language .
The tour brings to life the almost 1,000 years of history of this originally Viking church. Compelling audio content includes interviews with the Dean of Christ Church Cathedral, personal stories from bellringers and the intriguing tale of the theft and recovery of St Laurence’s heart, from Detective Sean Campbell.
Inclusivity is always an important consideration during script development and UX design and the Imagineear teams used their expertise to create an Audio Descriptive tour to help visitors with varying sight levels and an Irish sign language tour for the deaf and hard of hearing.
Organ music and choral singing, recorded on site by Imagineear, is included throughout the tour, adding atmospheric sound to the narration.
Staff at the Cathedral were fully trained in TourBuilder Plus™, Imagineear’s bespoke content management system, allowing them to access and update digital content themselves.
“It has been such a pleasure to work with the team at Christ Church Cathedral,” says Clare Cooper-Hammond, Imagineear’s Managing Director. “COVID restrictions presented some challenges during the production phase, but were able to adapt. We are utterly thrilled to have created such a rich and engaging audio experience for Cathedral visitors. Working with clients with inclusivity at the heart of our projects is a key focus for us and ensures that sacred sites like Christ Church Dublin remain accessible and appealing to all.”
