QUIET HOUR:

For our Quiet Hour sessions the following measures are in place to make the Grotto more accessible to those with additional sensory needs

  1. Relaxed performances, Elves will calm their Christmas joy just a little and Father Christmas will use his indoor voice only
  2. Any lighting will be set to static
  3. Any music will be turned off
  4. Families can enjoy the grotto at a more leisurely pace
  5. Parents/carers can speak to our ‘door Elf’ and let them know if there are any other ways we can make the experience enjoyable, Elves will try their hardest to achieve this.
