We welcome all families who identify as Neurodivergent or Learning Disabled including ADHD, Autism, Anxiety, OCD, Tourette’s and all other sensory and processing difficulties.
During this session, we have lower visitor capacity than usual and lower noise levels. We turn off bathroom hand dryers, implement adaptations to staff operations such as using earpieces for radios, and do not use the tannoy system.
The session begins at 09.30 and ends at 11.00.
Ticket cost £1.00
This offer was formally known as Rise and Roar. The name, price and age range of the event has changed owing to the launch of our new Relaxed Events Programme for Children and Families. The change was made to bring these two offers closer to each other. For exact changes please see our FAQ’s page.
