Join us on our Autism Friendly Tours!

We've amended our regular tour to accommodate those with Autism by reducing sensory triggers such as reducing the noise in our exhibition and removing any bright or flashing lights during the tour. We've reduced the capacity of our tours to ensure nobody feels overcrowded, and our tours will also be extended to provide additional time to process information in each room of your tour. 

These tours take place on the first Sunday of the month. 

If you have any questions regarding our Autism Friendly Tours please reach out to [email protected].
