A quieter first hour at Jodrell Bank on the first Sunday of each month, for visitors who find noise and bright lights hard. Sound and lighting in the exhibitions are turned down, there is a relaxed showing of the free introductory film at 10.15am, and a quiet space with sensory provision. The centre asks that only groups who need it book this session.
