On the first Saturday of the month we host an early access session to support children with sensory needs and their families to explore and enjoy the DFES Education & Heritage Centre.

A highlight for every child is to dress up as a fire fighter and sit in the drivers seat of a real fire truck!

What you can expect:

Staff trained in disability awareness to welcome you.
A friendly supportive environment with limited visitors who are there for the same reason as you.
Lighting and sound levels adjusted (where possible) for a low sensory experience (these will return to normal levels from 10.30am).
A designated quiet area for those needing to take a break.
A sensory touch table with objects to handle.
A Visual Story with details on what you can expect on your visit.

General information about visiting can be found on the DFES Education & Heritage Centre website.
