Join us for a relaxed early opening at Wentworth Castle Gardens. This is a sensory-friendly event for families and individuals who would benefit from a quieter environment to enjoy our Summer of Play.
Get ahead of the crowds and start your day a little earlier to explore and enjoy our Summer of Play hubs before everyone else arrives at 10am. Our early openings are suitable for individuals or families with members who may have sensory processing differences, autistic spectrum conditions or any other access needs.
As part of our early opening, you will be able to explore all our Summer of Play hubs and participate in family-friendly activities. Or why not pick up one of our sensory maps and explore your own way?
Please note our café team will begin serving at the usual time of 10am but the toilets in the Long Barn building and Conservatory will be available as needed.
