Sensory Bags
What is a Sensory Bag?
Sensory Bags offer a range of fun, interactive sensory resources and toys designed to support and enhance your visit to the museum. The bags have been designed to support visitors with additional sensory needs but anyone can book out and use a Sensory bag to accompany their time in the museum.

How do I book to use a Sensory Bag?
We require a £10 refundable deposit to borrow a Sensory Bag during your visit to the museum. When booking out a bag we require a name, contact email and contact number.
You can either pre-book for your Sensory bag online here or pay with the museum’s front desk on the day.
Your £10 deposit will be refunded to you when you have returned the Sensory Bag at the end of your visit.
