Accessible Sensory and Chill Out Spaces

Our tailored, site specific, spaces ensure every attendee, from child to adult, has a safe and supportive environment to enjoy, no matter their sensory needs. Whether they have a diagnosed disability or neurdivergence, or simply become overwhelmed and stimulated by an event environment, we are here to help.

We use calming lighting, sound, textures, and activities to help people relax and feel comfortable, so they can either rejoin the event feeling refreshed or stay with us as long as they need. Everyone is welcome.
