Sensory Pit Stop – Nook, ZoneND, Autoism

Sensory Street were proud to support the Sensory Pit Stop at the British Motor Show, 17-21 August 2023, created by Nook, ZoneND, and Autoism, in collaboration with Green team interiors & Allsfar.

The Sensory Pit Stop was introduced as a sensory-inclusive space to allow attendees to pause and rejuvenate amid the whirl of the British Motor Show. It welcomed a diverse array of visitors, including neurodivergent folk, and aimed to improve accessibility and inclusion to the show.

“Being Autistic myself it is so important and wonderful to have such a space to escape too when getting overwhelmed. It is rare, no non-existent, to find a place like this at events”

The Sensory Street team provided their insights into the design of the space, and conducted an independent evaluation of the provision. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with 100% of survey respondents saying that being in the Sensory Pit Stop was a positive experience and it supported accessibility and inclusion to the event (see our full report below). The feedback highlights the need for these sensory-inclusive spaces at events. Make sure to look out for the Sensory Pit Stop at next year’s British Motor Show.
