These sessions provide an opportunity for younger visitors to engage with The Herbert's collections in a way that is meaningful to them — hands-on, imaginative and above all else, fun!

Each child will receive a sensory play bag containing freshly cleaned sensory resources, which helps to keep them engaged for the duration of the session; adds context by using a physical object to give words meaning; extends learning through play and increases their opportunities to develop good listening and language skills.

Sessions take place in different galleries each week — simply ask at the Welcome Desk when you arrive to find out which space you'll be in, so your little ones can experience the collections through play.
