Join our summer holiday Creative Club for children aged 8-14 with special educational needs and disabilities.

What is the Creative Club?

Our relaxed, safe and friendly club is for children aged 8-14 with special educational needs and disabilities who usually find visiting museums overwhelming due to conditions that affect their sensory processing and/or have a developmental disability.

Each session takes place at one of our Museums or Garden and is an opportunity for young people to discover the collection and create different artworks in response.

The club runs in the school summer holidays.

There are very limited spaces to keep the museums from feeling too overwhelming. Adults are expected to stay and where possible, we welcome siblings to join in as well.

How can I book?

To hear about future events, sign up to our mailing list and select ‘Families with SEND’.

Upcoming events can be found on our What’s On page by selecting the ‘What’ filter and selecting ‘Disabled access events’, or on the University of Cambridge Museums Eventbrite.

If you have any questions, please contact Marie Kennedy, Learning Associate: Young People at the University of Cambridge Museums: mfk25@cam.ac.uk

For full accessibility information for each of our Museums, please visit each Museum’s website.
