Yes. Home Ed groups are very welcome and can choose school tickets like any other education trip.
Because Absurd City features multiple rooms and secret passageways, we recommend dividing students into small groups of 5–8, each led by an adult.
We don’t currently offer these, but as we settle into Westfield and build networks across the city, we are open to exploring new and different ways to make the experience accessible to schools and other groups.
We find that different age groups engage in different ways. Younger children tend to enjoy the rich sensory environment and many tactile elements. Older children are engaged by interactive games, quests and questions of social justice. Older and mature students are engaged by all of the above, plus the opportunities to explore creative careers.
Yes. The experience has been built with accessibility in mind. Please visit our accessibility page to view our map and guide, plus find out more about accessibility.
We have received wonderful feedback from people of all ages with a wide variety of SEND and neurodiversity. Absurd City is a rich sensory environment with varied lighting, soundscapes, and projections, so we would suggest taking a look at our Accessibility section of the website for helpful resources. Additionally we are introducing Calm Sessions next year with a focus on reduced lighting, sound and capacity.
