Oi Chelmsford! SEN Friendly Days
Join us every 2nd Saturday of the month, all day (10am to 4pm), for our new SEN Friendly Day, to coincide with the 'Oi Chelmsford! Kes Gray: Chelmsford Born and Read' exhibition.
This is an opportunity for visitors with additional or sensory needs to enjoy the museum with friends and carers, in a more relaxed atmosphere. Sound effects around the galleries will be turned down or off, there will be a restriction on numbers entering the Oi Chelmsford! exhibition and a large, quiet break out room is available, in the Wells Suite on the first floor of the Museum of Chelmsford (accessed via the main Museum entrance).
