Timings

Every Thursday from 4pm to 6:30pm at Wakefield Museum is a relaxed opening session. 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. 

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.
