What's On

Sensory Stories and Rhymes

Explore our collections through songs, stories, movement and sensory play.

Book Online (Drop in from 1 May 2024*) | £1.50 per child

Designed for ages 0 - 4

Explore our collections through songs, stories, movement and sensory play. These sessions provide an opportunity for our youngest visitors to engage with our collections in a way that is meaningful to them.

The hands-on nature of these sessions appeal to their imaginations and above all else is fun. Each child will receive a sensory play bag, containing freshly cleaned sensory resources, which helps to keep them engaged for the duration of the session; adds context by using a physical object to give words meaning; extends learning through play and increases their opportunities to develop good listening and language skills.

Sessions take place in different galleries each week, simply ask at the Welcome Desk when you arrive to find out what space we will be in so your little ones can experience our collections through play.

*Please note that from 1 May 2024, Sensory Stories and Rhymes sessions will be drop in only and can no longer be booked in advance online.​

Please note that the sessions will not run on the following dates:
Tuesday 2 April
