Sensory-Friendly Afternoons
Event Details
Our Sensory-Friendly Afternoons offer a welcoming, relaxed environment with reduced noise, softer lighting where possible, and minimal background activity.
These sessions run every other Sunday afternoon and are open to all visitors who would benefit from or simply prefer a calmer experience. There’s no background music and fewer visitors, creating a gentler pace to explore the museum.
You’ll have access to the same exhibitions and displays, with the added benefit of a more relaxed atmosphere.
You can download our Sensory Map and Easy Read Guide (below), to help you know what to expect before your visit. These are also available to collect from reception. Â
