Adults Only Zone: Relaxed Session

This bookable relaxed session is open to everyone aged 18+ who need a quieter environment away from the crowds to enjoy our dedicated adult space, and will be particularly appealing to those who are susceptible to sensory overload.
During this hour slot there will be reduced background noise and no music. Visitors are welcome to move, express themselves, and engage with the space in the way that suits them best. We kindly ask that all visitors during the Relaxed Session are respectful and give space to others.
Most Adults Only Zone activities will be open so you can meet scientists, make origami, craft textile fridge magnets or try out wearable tech that tracks your walking speed.
The Adults Only Zone has a bar selling alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, as well as food, with benches to sit and relax.

This event is part of the Great Exhibition Road Festival on 6-7 June 2026.

The workshop takes place in a zone for people aged 18+ only. People younger than 18 will not be allowed entry into the building.

Please arrive at the venue 10 minutes before the start time. Your ticket gives you priority access, however, as this is a free event if you do not arrive 10 minutes before the start time your space may be reallocated. Early arrival reduces this risk.
