Where does Sensorium take place?
Sensorium starts on the second floor of our beautiful building on 62 High Street in Belfast.

The Sensorium experience is approximately 2.5 hours long. Time flies when you’re having fun!
I don’t drink alcohol, can I still join the experience?
Absolutely! We have worked hard to make sure all of our experiences are fully inclusive and you’ll be served premium non-alcoholic drinks for all chapters. When booking please note your preference regarding alcohol in the Dietary Requirements section.
Is the alcohol-free option still accurate to my sensory preferences?
Yes! Since the science is related to your sensory preferences as opposed to direct alcohol brands, you’ll experience no difference in the quality of your experience should you opt for an alcohol-free version.

Every cocktail and serve that we make looks the same as the alcohol version - and tastes just as good - which is something that’s really important to us. Our aim is to make this experience inclusive to all, regardless of alcohol preferences.
Can I do the experience more than once?
Yes! We’ve had people do the Sensorium experience multiple times and each time they’ve found it really interesting to see how their drink changes.

The cocktails and the drinks experience changes seasonally too, meaning when you come to do the experience again, you’ll experience it with different drinks along the way.
