We are trialling pre-bookable sessions aimed at families with neurodivergent children who need a quieter environment to enjoy these activities.

Try painting with brushes made from foraged natural materials and use scrap paper to create a landscape.  Think about looking after our natural environments by playing our recycling game and use some cool science to create your own Earth inspired artwork. Enjoy our natural garden games and add a paper flower, tree or plant to our paper garden. Tell us what your favourite wild animal is by adding to our voting wall, before exploring the Museum with our landscape themed trail. We invite you to discover and explore together through this range of family-friendly activities designed to bring the theme of natural landscapes alive.

Designed for families with children over 5 years old who need a quieter, calmer experience. We ask other visitors to please understand that spaces during this session are reserved for families with children with this need.

The session will run between 2pm and 3pm. All activities are optional, and we will encourage and support families taking part in the activities as much or as little as they choose.

£1 per child, booking required. Book online here or call 01453 763394.
