We are trialling pre-bookable sessions aimed at families with neurodivergent children who need a relaxed environment to enjoy these activities.

 Make a chicken or duck headband to wear and wash the muddy farm animal toys. Explore some seeds and try painting with toy tractors. Match the tails to the farm animals and build a barn for some toy animals. Create a paper fruit or vegetable to our wheelbarrow and tell us your favourite farm animal. We invite you to discover and explore together through this range of family-friendly activities designed to help bring the theme of farmyards alive.

Designed for families with children over 5 years old who need a more relaxed experience. We ask other visitors to please understand that tickets for this session are reserved for families with children with this need.

The session will run between 2pm and 3pm in the Pavilion at Museum in the Park. All activities are optional, and we will support families taking part in the activities as much or as little as they choose. To support a relaxed environment, there are 10 child tickets available to pre-book. Children must be accompanied, although accompanying adults do not need a ticket.

£1 per child. Please prebook. Book online here or call 01453 763394.
