Join us for our Relaxed Morning, a dedicated museum opening 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!
Our next Relaxed Morning is the 27th of July 2026 from 10:00 until 12:30 pm.
Next session: 27 July 2026, 10:00am – 12:00pm. Reserve your free spot here.
