Relaxed Hours

Relaxed Hours and Relaxed Tours support anyone who may not feel comfortable visiting our exhibitions during busier times.

We welcome everyone to our exhibitions whenever our gallery is open, but we also recognise that some visitors may require a more relaxed approach to noise and movement in the space, or may welcome additional support to experience the exhibition fully. 

Our Relaxed Hours and Relaxed Tours offer this environment, and have proved particularly helpful for visitors with sensory differences or anxiety, as well as parents and carers.

As well as offering special guided tours of the exhibition, our Relaxed Hours sessions also offer a studio space, where visitors can engage all of their senses. In these studios visitors can play, create and reflect and explore a variety of activities with artists and the Southbank Centre’s Arts & Wellbeing Team.

Relaxed Hours at the Southbank Centre are open to all and we encourage bookings from SEND schools and community groups.
