Final relaxed sensory session for families with additional needs which is this Saturday 28 September from 10-11:30am at Nottingham Castle.
Exhibition that Jennifer has co-curated alongside a disabled artist at Nottingham Castle. It features 8 learning disabled and neurodivergent artists from across the UK and is an exhibition full of joy and colour: https://www.jenniferlaurengallery.com/all-exhibitions/kaleidoscopic-realms
We have organised three relaxed mornings for the exhibition led by the Sensory Toolkit, who has made lovely sensual objects that can be used in the space that will be closed off during this time. See more info below.

For individuals with additional needs and their families, artist Sarah Marsh [@thesensorytoolkit] leads the session with her gorgeous tactile, sculptural objects that you can wrap yourself in and explore the exhibition, while making connections to the artwork on display. Alongside making sensory dumplings that you can take home with you, it's a more quiet, less crowded relaxed morning exploring art. Sarah has a wealth of experience working with children with additional needs, and all supporting volunteers will have been briefed beforehand about the sessions. We will lower the lighting levels throughout ‘Kaleidoscopic Realms’. It will be a closed safe space, but the rest of the Castle will be open to the general public during this time. We felt it was important for you to be aware of this.
You can drop-in anytime between 10-11:30am and it's FREE, but please book a space so we can monitor numbers. Admission fees apply to get into the Castle itself.
