The Natural History Museum at Tring
SENDsational Mornings at Tring
An opportunity for children with neurodiverse conditions to enjoy the Museum at a quieter time.
We’re excited to present SENDsational Mornings at Tring, Hertfordshire.
This is an opportunity for children with neurodiverse conditions, including autism and other sensory processing difficulties, to take part in activities and enjoy our galleries with their families and siblings away from the hustle and bustle of the general public.
What can you expect from the experience?
- Activities including specimen handling, crafting and a gallery trail.
- Support from experienced, autism-aware facilitators.
- A sensory space for children needing a quieter and calmer space.
- All of our galleries, outdoor spaces and shop will be open.
- Each event has a different theme. In February it’s Deserts, in May it’s rainforests, in August it’s Oceans and in November it’s Autumn.
We’ll email more information about your visit a week in advance to help you prepare for your visit. On the day, you’ll be given a programme and a map to let you know what you can do.
The Museum in South Kensington has been successfully running a similar event called Dawnosaurs for the past four years.
Before your visit, take a look at our visiting information and our visual guide to help you plan your visit.
