- Booking essential
- Free event (admission applies)
Relaxed Hour is ideal for our visitors who prefer a quieter and calmer experience, such as those with autism, SEN needs, or dementia. The sound will be lowered, and the walkaround relaxed and informal, with less numbers per timeslot to make for an enjoyable experience for all.
