Where is ZEN?
We are located on the outskirts of Ripon in North Yorkshire in a beautiful village Wath.
If you are visiting ZEN for the first time, we advise you to put ZEN Sensory into google maps and it will bring you straight to our car park. If you just put in our post code, it will take you to a farm nearby. We are on the same plot as Yorkshire Generators with green fencing.
Is the centre disability accessible?
ZEN has been specifically designed for those with additional needs and disabilities and so the entire sensory centre is wheelchair accessible. Our centre is fitted with mobile hoists so that all equipment at ZEN can be used by everyone. We have a changing room/toilet at ZEN with both a changing bed for children and adults as well as a baby changing unit. Our toilet facilities also include grab rails.
Do you have an age limit to visit ZEN?
ZEN is a therapeutic sensory centre for all ages and abilities, from birth, to children and adults with additional needs and those with Dementia.
Is there a cafe on site?
Yes, we have a small cafe on site you can visit after your session. We are currently only offering cakes/coffees etc. Our full menu will be available soon.
The cafes opening times are subject to session types. For example, the cafe will be closed when we have a private party booked in and during our Santa sessions in December.
Can I feed my baby throughout the Centre?
Breastfeeding, bottle feeding and drinks are welcomed throughout the entire centre. However, food is only to be eaten in the Forest Room and not in the other 3 sensory rooms (Sun Room, Ocean Room and Enchanted Cave).
Can you just turn up for a session at ZEN?
No, all sessions must be pre-booked to ensure we have availability. This can be done online, or directly through us via email/messenger 🙂
Do I need a referal to visit ZEN?
No, everyone is welcome at ZEN, you do not require a referal to be able to enjoy our centre!
Is there parking on site?
Yes, we have our own car park on site
When will you be increasing your numbers for a Full Access Session?
A Full Access Session will always be for up to 6 people including little ones. This is due to our risk assessments and sizes of our rooms. If you have a larger group size, we do have other session types you can book into including hiring the entire centre.
