Relaxed Early Opening For Families
British Library, London.
Relaxed Early Opening for Families
Join us for a free autism-friendly early opening of the Library. Suitable for families with children aged 5 – 15.
This early opening is for families with children on the autism spectrum or with other sensory needs. Enjoy the Library free from the hustle and bustle of the general public.
You’ll get the opportunity to visit our exhibition, A Silk Road Oasis: Life in Ancient Dunhuang. You will also be able to explore our Family Station located on the Upper Ground Floor, and take part in a creative workshop in our Learning Centre.
A dedicated sensory room will also be available for children needing a quieter and calmer space.
This event is free and suitable for parents and carers with children aged 5 – 15 years and their siblings.
All visitors to this special early opening will receive a visual story in advance to provide an idea of what to expect on arrival. Please note that the Library opens to the general public at 11.00.
