After a tour of the vaults, you’ll head to Megget’s Cellar – Mercat Tours’ underground suite. Here you’ll have a unique opportunity to get hands-on with an interactive workshop. Handle and examine artefacts discovered in the vaults and examine maps, plans, street directories and newspaper articles that record the planning and building of South Bridge.
