Christmas at Shugborough | SEN Relaxed Sessions (pre-bookable)
This year the Mansion will be open for SEN relaxed sessions. These sessions will be quieter and more relaxed, especially designed for visitors who have sensory processing difficulties and may find visiting during regular opening hours overwhelming.

During these relaxed opening times visitor numbers will be reduced, and flashing lights and noises will be minimised.
These sessions are pre-bookable to give you peace of mind, however if you would prefer a drop in sensory session please see the separate events listing.
