| Post Early: Relaxed events |
|
Post Early - co-produced with Ambitious about Autism and a group of their autistic Youth Patrons - is a relaxed event at The Postal Museum.
Designed to support autistic and neurodiverse visitors, it is suitable for any child or adult who would benefit from less crowding and reduced noise.
We recommend booking ahead for 12 August, as these popular events sell out fast. |
