Relaxed Opening of 1880 THAT

Join us for a relaxed opening of the exhibition '1880 THAT'. Relaxed openings provide a calm, friendly atmosphere with additional support and facilities.

You will find:

• extra staff available to help you
• fewer people in the exhibition
• sensory-support equipment (including ear defenders, tinted glasses and visors, stim toys and weighted lap pads)
• comfortable cushions and mats if you need to sit or lie down in the exhibition
• a chill-out space.

For a break from the exhibition and gallery spaces, take advantage of our chill-out space. The chill-out room has low lighting, comfortable seating, cushions, mats and space to move around and be yourself.

We’ll be in Gallery 2. To get there, go up the stairs or take the lift to level 1.

Booking a ticket for a free, in-person event does not guarantee you a place. You should aim to arrive 15 minutes before the event is scheduled to start to claim your place. If you do not arrive on time, your place may be given to someone on the waiting list.

This is a relaxed event, which means that if you need to, you are welcome to move around and make noise at any time.
