We know that busy event environments can feel overwhelming — especially for guests with autism, sensory difficulties, or learning disabilities.
That’s why we’re introducing The Quiet Room at The Cat Show Live 2025 — a calm, welcoming space designed to offer a gentler experience for those who need it.
In The Quiet Room:
- Guests can meet a small selection of cats in a low-stimulation, quiet setting
- Entry is available from 9:30am — half an hour before general show opening — to help visitors acclimatise at their own pace
- Sensory-friendly adjustments will be in place to help reduce noise and visual stressors
Please note: Due to space and safeguarding considerations, access to The Quiet Room is not available to all guests.
If you or someone in your group would benefit from this space, please email us at event@thecatshowlive.com to request access ahead of the show, alternatively you can speak to our front desk team on the day.
