We now offer sensory backpacks at our Kent sites. These free-to-borrow backpacks are designed to help visitors with sensory processing needs have a more enjoyable experience. Simply ask on site to borrow yours.
Each backpack contains tools like fidget widgets, plush toys, and ear defenders to help manage sensory input and reduce stress. Whether you’re visiting as a family, with a carer, or independently, these backpacks are designed to make it easier to explore our sites in a way that suits you.
