At Xplore! Science Discovery Centre, we believe that everyone should be able to learn and discover the wonders of science in a way that feels comfortable and inclusive for them. That's why we are excited to announce Inclusion Day, a special event making our centre more welcoming for those with additional needs or disability.

💖 Autistic Haven CIC has been kindly invited to take part in Inclusion Day as a group, free of charge.

🎫 Please order one ticket per family.

🪐 Space-themed activities, including hands-on sessions exploring Planets, Constellations, and the Moon. The activities will all take place in the open-plan lunch area, so families won’t need to go into any closed rooms where they might feel unsure about what to expect.

Sorting planets using plushies
Moon and craters craft
Plotting constellations
Planet orbits game

🎧 A quiet sensory room is available, and fidget toy bags with ear defenders are available at reception, at no cost to hire.

🥪 There is a cafe and a separate area with picnic tables if you would like to bring your own lunch.

⏰ Please arrive by 11 am. You will have the whole day, up until 4 pm, to explore the museum.

🧑 Staff members on the day will be Tom and Amy. We’ll also be joined by Lucinda, a visitor from the Royal Astronomical Society, who will be supporting the activities as part of a staff swap.

🎨 Our beloved arts & crafts session will run in the afternoon; please book it separately.
