The Glucksman's sensory-friendly evenings are designed to offer a more comfortable experience for people with sensory differences.

The Glucksman's sensory-friendly evenings are designed to offer a more comfortable experience for neurodivergent visitors, people with sensory differences or disabilities, or anyone who would benefit from a calm and quiet environment. This sensory-friendly evening will focus on the exhibitions Selected Works: UCC Art Collection, and Panorama Europa, and will include reduced crowds, softer lighting, and a quieter space.

These sessions will include access to sensory kits (ear defenders and fidget toys), visual guides, and trained staff, allowing everyone to enjoy exhibitions at their own pace in a more comfortable setting. Visitors are welcome to bring their own sensory items to support their visit.

A social story to support your visit is available - please contact education@glucksman.org
