Relaxed House Openings

Join us for a relaxed house opening for anyone who would appreciate a calmer visit.

  • Booking advisable
  • Free event (admission applies)

During this time we have a limited capacity, no videos and reduced noise in the house. We know that it can be difficult to stick to strict timings so we will be offering relaxed entry and exit time so that you can come in anytime within the hour. Our friendly and welcoming staff and volunteers are happy to help with any questions you have.

Sunflower lanyards and ear defenders will be available to borrow in the house. Sensory backpacks available to take into the grounds.
