We are hosting two Relaxed Sessions for anyone who would like to explore SOIL in a calm and comfortable and environment, including people with autism and other neurodiverse needs, as well as their siblings, families and carers. These will be held on Friday 30 January from 10.00 – 11.30 and Saturday 08 March 18.30 – 20.00.


To ensure that SOIL is as welcoming and calm as possible, we: 

  • Limit the number of visitors in the session 
  • Turn off/lower elements of AV in the space. 
  • Provide a visual story to help you plan your visit, available soon.
  • Provide Access Packs – available at the entrance to the exhibition. These contain: Noise cancelling headphones, magnifying glass sheets for reading any printed text, a large print guide and a stress ball. 
  • Run regular disability awareness sessions with our staff 
  • Provide a safe/calm space to help assist visitors who may be overwhelmed due to the new environment.

For any questions about these sessions, please contact visitor@somersethouse.org.uk or for general ticketing enquiries please call +44 (0)333 320 2836. Lines are open between 09.00-18.00- Mon-Fri, 10.00-18.00 Sat/Sun/Bank Holidays. 

Please be aware that we do not offer refunds or exchanges as per our terms and conditions of sale

We look forward to welcoming you to Somerset House.
