If you are coming to visit this summer why not try out one of our explorer backpacks.

These packs are designed for anyone who like some hands on tools to help them explore the centre in a relaxed or sensory way, but especially for very young child and visitors with additional needs.

Take a look at what is inside:

We have had some excellent feedback so far including: “They love these, they’re great.”

The packs are free to borrow from our shop area, just ask a staff member or volunteer to help you sign one out.

We would like to say a big thank you to our Friends group FoSSA and the Tesco community grant scheme for funding the creation of these backpacks.
