What’s in the bag?
Sensory Bags are now available to hire from our Customer Service Desk.
Visiting a shopping centre can be an overwhelming experience for visitors with additional needs. At Bridges we have created sensory bags to help create a more relaxed shopping experience. We are really keen to work alongside families to gain feedback and add appropriate items to the bag if necessary.
Each sensory bag contains:
- Wearable Press Stress Relief Wristband
- Colourful Beanbags
- Kids Ear Defenders-Noise Cancelling Headphones
- Colourful Monkey Stringy Balls
- Pull & Pop Tube Sensory
- Sensory Shapes with Water Beads
- Transformable Fidget Spinner Toy
- Visual Communication Cards
The Bridges Shopping Centre also introduced a ‘Quiet Hour’ in 2020. This provides visitors with a more relaxed environment where our music is silenced, kiddie rides are turned off and lights are dimmed. Quiet hours runs every Sunday between 11am and 12pm.
To hire a sensory bag please visit our Customer Services desk. We require a deposit of £10 which is refundable when the bag is returned in its original condition. All items will be hygienically cleaned between uses.
