At the National Space Centre, we are dedicated to making sure everybody has the perfect day out.
Alongside our access provision listed here, we have also created multiple events for our wide and varied audiences:
Space Lates - Quieter evenings with talks and workshops for those who want to delve deeper into space science.
Accessible Afternoons - An afternoon to support children, young adults and families with additional needs and disabilities, designed for SEND visitors who would benefit from a quieter experience.
Small Space Days - A day of exploration for our littlest visitors. The Centre is not open to groups or schools on this day, so small children are able to toddle, explore and engage with the exhibition freely.
SEN Home Education Days - An accessible day dedicated to SEN (Special Educational Needs) home educated children and their families
