In conjunction with the Isle of Man’s Department for Health and Social Care, this year’s Young Adult & Graduate Fair will include a Quiet Hour from 3pm–4pm, with music turned off, reduced noise levels and a calmer environment for those who prefer a low-sensory setting. Matt and Jade will be available during this time to offer support to anyone who feels overwhelmed or needs assistance. Visitors who may feel anxious in new spaces can also explore the venue online beforehand, including the entrance, Main Hall and Colonnade Suite, to help them feel more prepared and comfortable.

If you require any additional reasonable adjustments, please contact Erin.herbison4@gov.im in advance.
