SUMMARY:Calm at the Castle
DESCRIPTION:Join us on the first Sunday of every month from 3 PM to 5 PM for a quieter experience at Colchester Castle. \nThese sessions are designed for anyone who would benefit from a calmer environment\, including visitors with autism or sensory sensitivities. During this time\, we reduce sensory stimulation by turning off sounds and visual displays\, and a dedicated sensory space is available away from the main galleries. \nEar defenders\, visual guides\, and twiddlemuffs are available free of charge at the museum’s reception. \nFor more information about accessibility and our sensory-friendly resources\, visit our Access page. There is no need to book; just purchase general admission tickets to the Castle\, or consider a Museums Pass to enjoy unlimited visits during the year!
