Autism Friendly Santa Sessions 2024
**PRE-BOOK ONLY - early booking advisable**
(Annual pass holders pay discounted rate for this special event and must present their pass on arrival to gain entry. Please see our ticket selection page)
We’ve been in deep discussion with Santa Claus to provide a special experience for your loved one. Our Autism Friendly Santa Experience offers a calmer, more relaxed experience at a pace suited to you. Upon booking, choose a specific time slot and let us know the requirements of your loved one - you may also wish to call us prior to visiting to discuss their needs in more detail.
On arrival, meet with our friendly staff member first to familiarise yourselves with the area and we will finalise details for the most memorable experience. Our gently spoken Santa can either greet you in his low-lit Grotto, or come outside for a more relaxed chat. They can be seated at a distance in the Grotto or even sit on the floor rather than in his chair. Visiting Santa is a magical experience for everyone, but we want to make sure we tailor your visit to your own needs. Your loved one will also be able to select a gift of their choosing from Santa, with sensory items available.
We have also included our transition room again this year to provide you and your loved one a calm, safe and inviting atmosphere before or after you visit Santa. As well as this, you will also have the chance for a special one-to-one small animal petting session before meeting Santa Claus.
NB. You may prefer to purchase tickets for our Santa's Grotto Christmas Experience, which is available on other dates. However, these sessions will be busier, noisier and have less time with Santa. The Autism Friendly Santa sessions are designed for loved ones who prefer a calmer experience.
Siblings are welcome -please book child ticket and add note in information box provided. (Under 2 siblings with paying child and adult ticket holders go free, without a gift).
What does your ticket include?
- Entry to the Farm Park for the whole day! You can arrive and leave at any time during our opening hours, the time you book is the time you will be booked to see Santa.
- Extended Santa Claus encounter
- Private small animal petting
- Use of our sensory transition room
- Support of Autism trained staff
- Photo opportunities
- Gift for child/adult with Autism
- Free return pass for those attending
Registered carers attending must purchase an adult ticket for this event.
