The UK’s largest Christmas indoor Winter Wonderland, is set to host a special autism-friendly family day on December 9.

The organisers have created the autism-friendly, festive sensory experience as part of Winter Funland.

The Indoor wonderland will be closed to the general public, making it a safe, welcoming and exciting space for young people affected by autism. There will be fewer crowds, the volume of the attractions will be lowered, the lighting and flickering lights will be reduced and a special space to chill out if any aspect gets too overwhelming will also be available.

Other exciting things such as a toned down sensory circus & a quieter and less light filled panto will feature, all which will ensure an enjoyable and calm atmosphere.

Winter Funland event director, Andy Windmill, said: “So many children and young people are affected by autism and we understand that an event the scale of Winter Funland can be very overwhelming and be a sensory overload.

There is disabled parking available and disabled toilets within EventCity. The venue is fully wheelchair accessible too. Tickets are available from www.winterfunland.com
