Sensory Backpacks

Sensory Backpacks

We now have 2 backpacks available to support young visitors with additional sensory needs or for those that need different ways of exploring our museum

These are free to borrow and contain a range of items to help support visitors who may need a little extra help to enjoy everything including fidget toys, ear defenders, sensory aids etc to help plan your visit plus an optional soft toy ‘Glen’ of Kilmartin Glen to help guide you around the museum. 

Backpacks are available to borrow for the duration of the visit and are available from our reception or you may wish to book one advance.

Please contact: enquiries@kilmartin.org  or phone 01546 510 278 to reserve your backpack.
