What is Post Early?

Post Early is a relaxed event that has been co-produced with Ambitious about Autism and a group of their autistic Youth Patrons.

Although the event is designed to support autistic and neurodivergent people, including families and adults, it is suitable for anyone who would benefit from visiting the museum when it is less crowded.

Admission

£3.50 per person.
Visitors are welcome to book a space for 1 accompanying companion or carer (included in the admission fee). Please contact the Bookings Support Team if you require additional essential companion or carer tickets at [email protected].
Admission includes entry to all exhibitions and an optional ride on Mail Rail.

At this event visitors can:

Ride Mail Rail.
Visit Sorted!, the Postal Play Space.
Explore the exhibitions with adjusted sounds and lighting.
Take part in a creative arts and crafts activity.

Lift Out of Service – Important Access Information

Please note that the lift in the Mail Rail building is currently out of service. To access the Changing Places toilet, Mail Rail exhibition, arts and crafts activity area, and the Mail Rail ride, visitors must descend 24 concrete steps.

Visitors will still be able to access the Sorted! play space, Postal Museum exhibitions, café and Breakout Space. Our team can also provide takeaway arts and crafts activities for use in our accessible spaces.

We apologise for any inconvenience and are happy to assist with access planning. If this event does not work for you, we’ll be running two more Post Early events this year, after the August event.
