Join us for SENDsation, a multi-sensory interactive experience for children aged 4–12, inspired by the fascinating collections and spaces at Cliffe Castle Museum.

Explore three sensory pop-up zones:

Discover sparkling rocks and crystals, including phosphorescent rocks in our crystal cave, using mirrors and torches.
Explore sound and movement in the echoing Bracewell Smith Hall.
Feel and investigate different fabrics and textures, then collaborate on a giant sculpture.
