Friday Friends

Since 2018, in partnership with The City of Edinburgh Council Additional Support for Learning Service, our monthly Friday Friends sessions have welcomed two groups to the museum:

• D/deaf children and their families
• Visually impaired children and their families.

These sessions are aimed at D/deaf or visual impaired children who attend mainstream schools.

The groups meet monthly and rotate around three venues:

• Edinburgh Zoo
• The National Museum of Scotland
• The Palace of Holyroodhouse.
