Early Bird Café Access

Your Disabled Access Day email means you can have a quieter visit to our Café on Level 2 before it opens to the public – enjoy a hot drink or a homemade snack, and a chance to explore food using all your senses with a hands-on activity. 

Jungle Journey Story Times 

Be immersed in the depths of the jungle and awaken all your senses in a session specially created to explore our favourite stories and engage children with a wide range of complex needs. Using books chosen for their sensory story experiences and experimenting with a variety of tactile props such as sand, water, feathers and bubbles, these sessions offer accessible ways to bring stories to life spark imagination and allow families to share stories together. We have programmed three sessions with different audiences in mind, but all visitors are welcome to attend any of the three.
