Every Friday at 9.30am – 12pm Castleford Museum now runs relaxed opening mornings for any visitors who would benefit from visiting in a quieter, more relaxed setting.
We will have reduced noise from audio/videos and interactive elements, and lighting will be set to standard even lighting levels.
There will be a pop-up tent as an additional quiet area, and one of our craft tables will have fidget toys and sensory objects to explore and distract. Ear defenders will be available on request. During the school holidays we will have the same relaxed Friday provision but with extra activities and trails designed for SEND families.
