The farm strives to be as accessible and inclusive to all people in our community. Although the farm is a chilled environment on the weekends, we recognise that a dedicated quiet hour where people can go around the farm at their own pace is needed.

Our popular Autism Hour is now running every Sunday between 10-11.

How Autism Hour is different to general public opening:
  • This hour is before we open to the general public, so less people will be on site.
  • Our volunteers will receive Autism awareness training to ensure the morning is as inclusive as possible 
  • A new booking option ensures that the entrance to the farm is as seamless and quick as possible
  • Our hand dryers will be off to ensure that the entrance area is quiet 
  • If we have any birthday parties or groups on the farm, we will pre - warn our visitors, and let you know another way to go around the farm to avoid these groups. 
  • If you require any fidget toys or sensory items, please talk to a member of staff. We have created a new sensory bag full of sensory/fidget items. 

If you had any feedback/ideas about making Autism Hour as inclusive as possible, please drop us an email at southamptoncityfarm@oasisuk.org
