Join us for a relaxed after hours visit to Beyond the Little Black Dress for anyone who would prefer a calmer visit to the exhibition.
During this opening, numbers will be reduced and, wherever possible, sounds will be lowered and light levels adjusted to provide a more relaxed experience. A quiet, break out space will also be available.
A visual welcome guide will be provided in advance to help you prepare for your visit.
This session is primarily for, but not limited to, neurodivergent young people and adults, autistic young people and adults, adults living with dementia, adults with learning difficulties or mental health challenges or any other visitors with sensory needs or who may prefer a more relaxed experience, plus their families, friends and carers.
Recommended age 8+
