NEXT DOG DAY DATE

Sunday 20th September

3pm - 5pm (last admission 4pm)

Bring your four-legged puzzler along for a paw-some adventure!

Professor Kettlestring has discovered that humans aren’t the only ones who enjoy a good illusion! On selected dates, we welcome well-behaved dogs and their owners to explore the attraction together.

Capture unforgettable photos, discover mind-bending illusions and enjoy a unique day out with your furry friend by your side.

Dogs must remain on short leads throughout the visit, with water bowls and treats available for our four-legged guests. Spaces are limited, so booking is recommended.

 

NEXT CALM HOUR DATE

Sunday 13th September

3pm - 5pm (last admission 4pm)

A calmer way to explore Professor Kettlestring’s curious creations

Our Calm Hours provide a quieter, more relaxed way to experience The Puzzling World of Professor Kettlestring. Designed for anyone who prefers a calmer environment, these sessions are ideal for autistic visitors, people with sensory sensitivities, those with anxiety, or anyone who would simply enjoy a less busy visit.

During Calm Hours, we make a number of adjustments to create a more comfortable experience, including:

Reduced visitor numbers
The opportunity to view the attraction before admission
Background music switched off
Main house lights switched on throughout the attraction
Aroma machines turned off
Camera flashes disabled on our photography equipment
Our friendly Curators of Curiosity available if you need any assistance

Sensory Resources:
Sensory backpacks are available to borrow during your visit on request. These include:

Ear defenders
Squishy stress ball
Fidget stick
Soft sensory caterpillar


We want every visitor to feel comfortable exploring our curious world at their own pace. If you have any questions before your visit or would like to discuss specific requirements, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
