Join us at this session for families, designed to welcome neurodivergent visitors, those with sensory sensitivities, and anyone who would enjoy a more peaceful way to explore this iconic ship without the crowds.
During this quiet morning all audio and visual interactives, apart from the introductory gallery film in the Lower Hold, will be turned off. If you decide to stay on the ship beyond 11am, these will be turned on and tannoy announcements will commence.
We will also be joined by our freelancer Aaron Oliver during this session. Aaron is a neurodivergent storyteller and workshop facilitator who specialises in sensory play and art and crafts.

Wheelchair access
For safety reasons, wheelchair access spaces for Cutty Sark are limited to three visitors at any one time.
Cutty Sark is wheelchair accessible with lifts providing access to all levels of the ship. Some areas of the Main Deck are not wheelchair accessible, but virtual access is provided to these spaces.
The original ship structure restricts the size of the lift on board, but mobility scooters can be accommodated on board providing they fit in our lifts. Measurements for the lifts are included in the Cutty Sark access statement. No e-scooters or e-bikes are permitted on board as per our visitor regulations.
Please also be aware that there are steps and gradients in Cutty Sark Gardens on the approach to the ship. There is a step-free route from King William Walk and Greenwich Pier.
Cancelling
If you are unable to attend, please let our team know as soon as possible so that your space can be made available to another family. Email: bookings@rmg.co.uk.
