Explore & Wonder Returns!
Explore and Wonder is a gentle, sensory-friendly creative day designed especially for children with additional needs and their families. Explore and Wonder offers a range of creative workshops including printing, bush craft, circus skills, messy play and much more. Children and young people can enjoy a welcoming, inclusive environment where they can explore, express, and discover creativity at their own pace.
Highlights
DiscoWave : A sensory-friendly disco for autistic and neurodivergent children and their families. With gentle lighting, playful beach-themed props, a live DJ and dancer, it offers a calm, welcoming space where families can join in at their own pace.
Sensory SongTales: A gentle music session for children with complex needs and their families.
Mark Making Mural : A collaborative canvas where everyone is encouraged to contribute. Participants are invited to explore at their own pace, whether that’s making bold marks, soft patterns, or simply enjoying the sensory experience of materials and colour.
Sensory Storytelling
Parking is right beside the entrance to the arena. There is a Changing Places Facility at the Leisure Centre on site.
