Join us for a free gentle and inclusive exploration of The Cat That Slept For A Thousand Years.

We invite families with children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) to discover the story of a mysterious cat who has arrived from space and is currently resting.

This session is designed as a calm, accessible experience where families can engage in their own unique way through hands-on activities such as gentle movement, mark making and light play.

All creative activities are open-ended, allowing for individual interpretation and exploration.

The session will be led by experience SEND Creative Practitioner Bryony Pritchard.
