From 10am-midday every Tuesday, we keep the noise down for those who prefer a calmer shopping environment without music, product demonstrations or mall activity.
If you need any help or assistance then you may also call ahead of your visit on 0113 229 1234 to discuss any concerns or questions. During your visit staff at our Customer Services Desk can assist any visitors who identify themselves.
Many people on the autism spectrum have difficulty processing everyday sensory information, and we recognise that visiting a shopping centre can present a difficult environment to some. We have therefore introduced our new sensory toys for those needing some time out and they can be found at our Customer Service Centre, near New Look and Car Park 6.
