Relaxed Tour: Tavares Strachan
Take a tour of our exhibition at a relaxed pace with additional support, led by Hayward Gallery tour guides, artist Georgia Akbar and the Arts & Wellbeing team.
We welcome everyone to our exhibitions throughout our opening hours, but we also recognise that some visitors may require more relaxed conditions or additional support to experience the exhibition fully.
Relaxed Tours sessions are tours that focus on experiencing the Tavares Strachan: There Is Light Somewhere exhibition through a centering of our senses, tuning into – and being guided by – feeling, and taking things at our own pace.
There is time to explore as a group and independently, and there are creative opportunities to support visitors to delve a little deeper, and discover the exhibition in new ways.
Join us to unwind, reflect and enjoy some light refreshments and creative activity in the Hayward Gallery Cafe afterwards.
Relaxed Tours are devised with and for visitors who may require additional support to experience exhibitions fully – such as those with sensory processing differences, neurodivergent visitors or those living with neurological conditions, as well as early-year visitors, parents and carers.
