Multisensory and Summer Music Days
for children with special needs

We deliver big themed day-long events for children and adults built around the five senses. We play games, make music and explore sights, sounds and smells.

Our multisensory days are a whole day of immersive experiences catered toward children and adults with complex and multiple learning needs (CMLN*).  Our multisensory days for children will be held on 14 and 15 May this year.

Our summer music days feature more energetic activities and music making for children with learning difficulties.  These days will be on 27 and 28 June.

Watch this space for more information.
