The Sensory Hive

The Sensory Hive

A sensory afterschool club

The Sensory Hive is a sensory based, accessible afterschool club in term time for disabled young people aged 5 to 11.

We run in Chester on Tuesday and Wednesday from 3.45 to 5.15pm. Sessions explore the five senses through touch, smell, sight, taste and sound.

Young people can come along independently of their parent or carer. Our fully qualified staff team provides personal care and behaviour support, with 1-to-1 support where it’s needed.

Subs are £4.00 per hour, paid in advance. Places are limited and allocated first come, first served.

The Sensory Hive is funded by Children in Need.
