Hiya Verney, do you mean like a pre visit? You usually arrange it with the midwife. My midwife said as i am new to the area that she would meet me one saturday and show me round the hospital. Ask your midwife about it hun x x

in my area, if you do the nhs antennatal classes, they arrange then to take you round one evening. But i believe the hospital also do sessions on a sunday morning where you can just turn up and they will show you round x

My MW told me to call the hospital itself and arrange it through them - mine are every other sunday and you just have to show up. Think it probably varies from area to area but it wouldn't hurt to call the hospital directly and ask!
