For a quieter visit, we would recommend coming in term time Monday to Friday, especially after 2.30pm when the school groups depart. The summer term is usually busier with school groups and some areas can be noisier. Certain parts of the centre will be calmer and quieter to spend time in; you can view a copy of our Sensory Map here.
