Life Science Centre - Relaxed Sunday Sessions

Explore the science centre with fewer visitors, less noise, and enjoy relaxed performances in our planetarium and Science Theatre. Lighting and sound levels will be altered where possible to accommodate those with sensory needs. For example, hand-dryers in toilets will be turned off for the duration of the session.
Relaxed Sunday Sessions run from 10:00am - 12:00pm. You are welcome to stay after this time if you wish, but please note that our traditional programme, lighting, and sound levels will gradually resume from 12:00pm.
To support your visit you can:
-
Hire ear defenders from reception for both adults and children (£10 refundable deposit. Subject to availability).
-
Hire sensory bags from reception. These include ear defenders, sunglasses, and a range of fidget toys (£10 refundable deposit. Subject to availability).
-
Download a visual story and sensory map before your visit. Alternatively, pick up a copy from reception on arrival.
