These sessions will include:
- Reduced Visitor Numbers
- Limited drop-in spaces available
- Lower Sounds & Subdued Lighting
- Additional Sensory toys & Ear Defenders
- Additional rest spaces for regulation
If there are additional requirements to support your access or engagement with this session please feel free to email info@nottinghamcontemporary.org or call 0115 948 9750.
Inspired by our new exhibitions by artist duo Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme and I Gusti Ayu Kadek Murniasih: Feels Strangely Good, Ya?, join us to make, explore and play.
We also have Family Activities on Tue, Wed, Thu 10am-12pm and Tue & Thu 1pm-3pm. You can find out more about these sessions here.
