About

Enjoy a calmer way to explore Colchester Castle during this relaxed Sunday afternoon session. Designed for anyone who benefits from a quieter environment, including visitors with autism or sensory sensitivities, sounds and visual displays are reduced to minimise sensory stimulation. A dedicated sensory space is available away from the main galleries, while free ear defenders, visual guides and twiddlemuffs can be borrowed from reception. Taking place from 3pm to 5pm, Calm at the Castle is included with standard Castle admission and no additional booking is required.
