Relaxed Christmas

Relaxed Christmas

This December, children with additional needs can experience the joy and enchantment of Christmas in a tranquil and supportive setting in Bleary Business and Community Centre.

The Relaxed Christmas experience is designed to provide a memorable and enjoyable festive environment for families with children who have autism or Special Educational Needs (SEN).

The experience will offer a range of seasonal activities featuring thoughtfully chosen Christmas decorations, lighting, props, and sensory items.

Each family will have the opportunity to spend quality time together in a truly magical atmosphere, with the overall experience lasting approximately 40 minutes. Immerse yourself in a festive journey across the following zones:

Silent disco: Party with Santa’s Elf Gumdrop, the North Pole’s Best Dancer, under the glow of UV lighting. Participants can choose from three playlists on our silent disco headphones, ranging from chilled out festive tunes, to upbeat Christmas classics.

Mrs Claus’ Kitchen – Mrs Claus invites you to her kitchen to enjoy some messy roleplay during her busiest time of year.

North Pole Projection Show: You will be welcomed into an inflatable dome where you will experience an immersive 360 degree projection show that transports families to the North Pole in style.

Santa’s Grotto – Listen out for Santa’s Bell as each family will be invited to visit Santa and receive a goodie bag with a small sensory goodie bag. Creating magical memories for the whole family, the relaxed Christmas experience will bring Christmas alive with fun, laughter and festive excitement in abundance!
