Quiet Hour at Town Hall Gallery

Quiet Hour provides an opportunity to experience Town Hall Gallery exhibitions with less people and lower sensory stimuli.

During your visit to the Gallery, you can expect:

• Exhibition sounds to be turned off
• Music in the customer service areas to be turned off
• No PA announcements, except in case of emergencies
• A dedicated quiet area nearby
• A dedicated staff member to support any additional needs
• Headphones to borrow.

These weekly, free sessions are for anyone who would benefit from a quiet and calm setting to encounter art, including people with dementia, autism, disability and chronic illness conditions.

All ages are welcome.

No bookings necessary.
