The Outdoors Hub is open every day, and we'll be adding in new resources throughout the year. When you’ve finished exploring, please return the items to the Outdoors Hub, ready for the next person to use!

Sensory backpacks

Sensory backpacks are now available to collect from the Outdoors Hub and at the house. These backpacks are filled with different things to engage the senses, such as noise cancelling headphones and fidget toys.

The backpacks are for any visitors who would benefit from using them during their visit but have been specifically designed for neurodiverse visitors.
