During the times above our complex will fall silent of all music within the building (excluding the gym) and all tannoy announcements (apart from emergency evacuation or casualty calls) will be silenced.

All hand dryers and hairdryers in the complex have clearly displayed stickers to show that they may have an affect on any one with autism due to the noise.  Check out our Visitor Guide below for full details.
