We’re back this summer with three weeks of magical, musical, multisensory fun – and you’re invited!
Our Summer Sensory Story Exploration Workshops are specially designed for children and young people aged 4–25 with complex SEND and/or PMLD. Each themed session is packed with movement, music, creativity, and sensory play – and it’s all completely FREE
