In our family polls families raising a disabled or seriously ill child regularly tell us that events, activities and special occasions can prove challenging- with 81% of families saying they have felt left out at festivals or celebrations because of their child’s disability or serious illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Christmas time can create sensory triggers, with many festive events involving lights, glitter, temperature changes, different smells and sounds. Places can be overcrowded, loud and generally overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many attractions and places across the UK are hosting accessible or relaxed events for families, to support as many people as possible to enjoy the festivities this winter. This festive season, we’re celebrating those places that get it right and are inclusive and welcoming for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To help you find suitable events, below are some events and theatre performances that could be of interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Relaxed theatre performances mean the auditorium has a supportive atmosphere when it comes to noise and movement. These performances are ideal for people with learning disabilities or autism, or anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed environment. Some theatre productions are also able to offer captioned or signed performances too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
