Our Sensory station at the entrance to the Mansion will be available with a range of sensory toys, ear defenders and communication cards for visitors to borrow. Our ‘what to expect map’ will help you navigate your way around the Mansion pointing out exit routes, low lighting, seating and potential noisy areas.
