The Peter Pan Moat Brae Trust will run free public tours to allow visitors to see the progress that has been achieved at Moat Brae House from Saturday 8th March to Saturday 19th April 2014.
The tours will be conducted by volunteers and offer an opportunity to see the house as Phase A Works are now completed and Moat Brae, Birthplace of Peter Pan, is saved for the Dumfries community. The stunning building has reached the first stage of restoration and is now wind and watertight, complete with a new roof and fully restored windows.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to find out about the future plans to create an international family visitor attraction and a national centre for children’s literature and storytelling. Views, thoughts and ideas will be welcome from visitors in order to inform the process. The Trust would like to know what local people think and what they would like to see and do at Moat Brae.
