The Garden: SEND Friendly Sessions

These sessions welcome children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) aged 5+ who would enjoy or benefit from the calm, sensory-focused environment of The Garden exhibition.

Playground Festival 26 presents:

Makers of Imaginary Worlds, Roma Patel and Rachel Clementine

Specially designed for very young children we invite you to explore the world of “The Garden” through the eyes of a child. This beautiful interactive installation offers you and your child the opportunity to enter a magical world of wonder and discovery among plants, flowers, birds, insects and animals.

This immersive installation is designed to spark curiosity and encourage playful exploration.

Playground empowers young children and their families through engaging, transformative and high-quality creative activities.

The Garden is part of a new early years international festival designed to bring together and celebrate the creativity of our young children and families alongside outstanding, engaging national and international work.
