Long Gallery Relaxed Viewings

Every Sunday and Monday mornings: 10-11:00am (Summer season) & 11-12pm (Winter season)* from 13 July 2025.

For individuals with additional needs and their families, artist Sarah Marsh @thesensorytoolkit has created gorgeous tactile, sculptural objects that you can wrap yourself in and explore the Long Gallery whilst making connections to the artwork on display.

It’s a quiter, less crowded relaxed morning exploring art without judgement.
