Do you offer access for visitors with disabilities?

The workshops are accessible to all, sometimes with the addition of a table. Much of the hands-on work is carried out on the floor, which may be beneficial or may require some adaptation from ourselves, the school or both. We want to be as inclusive as possible, so please give us as much information as you can in advance, so we can look at how we can adapt workshops to best meet any particular requirements.

Do you cater for visitors with Special Educational Needs (SEN)?

Due to the hands on nature of our activities, those children with Special Educational Needs will find themselves able to access our activities with great success. Class teachers are often apprehensive about how those pupils will be able to input into the workshops but are quickly put at ease when they see how easily they take to the hands on and visual challenges.
