Relaxed SENday

A relaxed day for visitors with sensory conditions such as autism

Book your visit

Do you or a member of your family have autism or other sensory conditions?

We’re running a ‘relaxed’ SENdays on various dates throughout 2024 for you!

What’s relaxed about it?

  • Low visitor numbers:
    We’ve heavily restricted ticket availability on this day so our galleries will be much less busy than usual.
  • Flexible timings:
    We want this day to work around you! Which is why – although we do ask you to select an arrival time – we are flexible if you happen to get here a little earlier or later than your slot.
  • Chill Out Room:
    Need some time out away from the main museum? Just ask any of our Enablers (the people in light blue shirts with “Team Eureka!” written on the back) for access to our Chill Out Room.
  • Ear Defenders:
    You can borrow a pair of ear defenders for free from our Information desk (by the admissions tills) – subject to availability, obvs.
  • Trained, supportive staff:
    Our whole team is trained in disability awareness, and we really want you all to have a great day out. Just ask us if there’s anything we can do to support you 🙂

Do I have to pre-book? 

Yes please! All visitors must pre-book, even if you are an existing annual pass holder. There will be a very limited number of tickets available on this day and you won’t be able to pay on the day. 

To join us on Sunday 10th September, just book as usual via our Online Bookings System

Remember: Essential carers visit for free, and Max Card holders can bring 1 adult and 1 child free per card.

You receive 12 months of unlimited free visits with standard admission (excluding visits booked using Tesco Reward points), and our relaxed Sunday Event is free for existing annual pass holders.
