Please join us on Friday 16th October at 10am for an early opening for our quiet hour! 🏺
We welcome children and adults with autism, additional needs, neurodivergence and sensory needs at the Burrell Collection.
To accommodate members of the public who can find a museum visit overwhelming and prefer a calmer environment, the Burrell Collection are hosting a series of quiet and relaxed hour-long sessions.
These sessions are essentially for, but not limited to, people with autism, additional needs, neurodivergence or sensory needs who may prefer a more relaxed experience. As well as their families, friends, and carers.
You will find sensory kits available at the reception for free and a quiet safe space available all day. Where possible, loud sounds from audio-visual displays, interactives and films will be reduced or switched off during these hours.
You can also download a visual storyboard before your visit on our website.

Video description: Accompanying the voice over is shots of the Burrell Collection, its quiet room, sensory bags and friendly staff wearing pink lanyards in the galleries.
