Autism-Friendly Crafts Activities

Join us for some fun, autism-friendly crafts for families at the Oriental Museum on Thursday 17 August, 5-7pm, when the galleries are generally quieter.

Inspired by the the Chinese ceramics on display, children and families will be able to try making their own bowls and vases from clay, or try some relaxing colouring in.

The Oriental Museum galleries will be open to explore too, with lots of self-led resources available including storybooks for a range of ages, toys and a cushion-filled chill out room.

A limited number of sensory bags will be available too, which contain ear defenders,

Suitable for children aged 5 - 11 years. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Places are FREE, but limited, so booking is essential.

Each ticket is for one adult and one child

If you book a ticket and later find you cannot attend, please email oriental.museum@durham.ac.uk or telephone 0191 334 5691 to cancel your booking so we can make the ticket available for another family.
