What to expect
These sessions are suitable for visitors with ASD, providing an opportunity for them to explore the galleries at a quieter time. We aim to minimise sensory stimulation by turning off audio and visuals and hand driers, whilst providing a sensory space in the Ceramics and Glass gallery.
Sensory maps, Hidden Disabilities lanyards and twiddlemuffs are available from the Mansion welcome desk free of charge.
You can find out more about our autism friendly resources by visiting our Access page.
