Join us for our Relaxed Sessions, dedicated museum openings for children and young people (aged 5-25) who are neurodivergent or have additional needs, and their families.
As well as providing a sensory reduced environment within the Museum, all activities have been adapted to be neurodivergent and SEND friendly.
Our friendly staff and volunteers are on hand to offer a warm welcome and any support you may need. Chill-out room and indoor picnic room will also be available.
Numbers are limited to ensure a quiet environment. Siblings are welcome!
These sessions are designed to provide a calmer, more accessible experience:
- Audio and sound levels are reduced or turned off
- Visitor numbers are limited to help create a quieter environment (free pre-booking via Eventbrite required)
- A quiet room is available if needed
- Indoor picnic room
- All games and activities are adapted to be neurodiverse-friendly. Activities usually include junk-modelling, object-handling, and toys.
Upcoming Sessions: 26th October and 23rd November
Our next Relaxed Session is 26th October 2026 from 10:00 until 12:30 pm. For more information, head to our 'What's on' Page.
