Autism-Friendly Family Activities

Explore the museum galleries and have fun making pasta jewellery. 

Lots of self-led resources will be available including storybooks for a range of ages, toys and a cushion-filled chill out room.

A limited number of sensory bags will be available too, which contain ear defenders,

Suitable for children aged 5 - 11 years. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Places are FREE, but limited, so booking is essential.
