Join in a different creative adventure each week inspired by the vast collection at The Prince Philip Maritime Collections Centre. This unique club is designed to support adult participants with Special Educational Needs and disabilities engage into social activities.

SENsory Social Club outside the Prince Philip Maritime Collections Centre

The SENsory Social Club is a weekly club for adults and young people (14+) with SEND to meet and engage with the collection in a fun and interactive way. No matter where you are from, we offer these creative sessions both online and in person at the Prince Philip Maritime Collections Centre.

Join us every Friday during term time, as we make new friends, have fun and learn new skills through a wide range of activities from story-telling, music, acting, crafts and games. 

To make these sessions as accessible as possible we have made these sessions available on our pay what you can scheme. 

The SENsory Social Club is a community where everyone can engage into the collection no matter their accessibility or ability. So, join us either online every Friday morning or onsite in the afternoons during term time.

Drawing with Light

Using LED lights and torches, SENsory Social Club have explored drawing with light by taking inspiration from Royal Museums Greenwich's collection.

Watch their artwork come to life below.

This project is part of our Season of Drawings, a series of events inspired by our exhibition The Van de Veldes: Greenwich, Art and the Sea at the Queen's House.

It was a different atmosphere!
