Learn, explore, create and stimulate your senses through the use of innovative lighting and sound technology.
Previously known as the Southern Centre, the Sensory Centre is a unique environment that caters to your individual needs, empowering you to choose your own environment, make changes and control your leisure time.
This is a multisensory environment for people of all ages and abilities which helps reduce stress levels and develop social skills.
Interact with the smell machine, bubble column, shadow wall and more – all aimed at stimulating an individual's senses through smell, touch, light and sound.
