For your visit
We welcome everyone to our exhibitions whenever our gallery is open, but we also recognise that some visitors may require a more relaxed approach to noise and movement in the space, or may welcome additional support to experience the exhibition fully.

Our Relaxed Hours are shaped around the needs of visitors with sensory processing differences, neurodivergent visitors or those living with neurological conditions, as well as early-year visitors, parents and carers.

During Relaxed Hours there is reduced capacity inside the galleries, spotlight talks and chill-out spaces.

Need to know
Age guidance
There is no age guidance for this exhibition but please be prepared to have age appropriate conversations with children about the content of the work. Our staff are available to support you if you would like any further information.
Content warnings
The exhibition contains images and language that some viewers may find offensive, including swear words, sexually explicit and violent language.
Event information
Advance booking is essential and you’re asked to choose a time slot when you book. However, for this event your ticket allows you to arrive, leave and re-enter at any time throughout the Relaxed Hours event.

There is a preparation story available for visitors who may benefit from preparing for the exhibition. The preparation story will be available to download from this page within a couple of weeks of the exhibition opening, and sent to bookers in advance.
