Timings

Every Friday from 9:30am to 12pm is a relaxed opening session at Castleford Museum. You can explore the Museum in a quieter, more relaxed setting.

Everybody is welcome!

This means that any loud noises will be turned down or turned off. You can be yourself. 

We have fidget and sensory objects to help you relax and explore. There is a small pop-up tent quiet space if you need it.

You can also try our activity sheets and crafts.

We also run SEND-friendly activities on Fridays in the school holidays.

Entry is still free. You do not need to book.

Feedback or questions?

We're continually reviewing the best times to hold our relaxed openings. You can email any suggestions or feedback for our Relaxed Openings to museumslearning@wakefield.gov.uk.
