A Calmer Way to Explore

Our Calm Sessions offer a more relaxed way to experience Wake the Tiger - a SEND-friendly attraction in Bristol designed for visitors who may find busy, high-sensory environments overwhelming.

During these quieter hours, we lower sound levels, limit capacity, and create a gentler atmosphere throughout our immersive art world. It’s the perfect time for neurodivergent visitors, people with sensory sensitivities, or families seeking a quieter day out in Bristol.

What to Expect

Step through the portal into a self-guided, non-linear world of over 40 immersive spaces filled with surreal art installations, interactive sets, and glowing creations. From hidden corners and secret doors, this is your chance to experience the magic of Wake the Tiger in a calmer, more accessible way.

Our friendly team will be on hand throughout your visit, ready to offer assistance and ensure your experience feels comfortable and inclusive.
