Our Sensory Hour is a dedicated low-sensory experience designed to make the market more accessible and comfortable for all.

During this time, we will be reducing crowd numbers, lowering lighting levels, and creating a quieter, calmer environment throughout the space.

This allows visitors to explore the market at their own pace, with less stimulation and more room to move and engage with makers.

Everyone is welcome — this hour is about creating a more inclusive experience for those who benefit from a gentler environment.
