Santa Claus is coming to Wilmslow

With the bright lights, gifts galore and jolly presence of Father Christmas, Santa's grottos are a seasonal favourite for families. But not all children are able to enjoy them.

For thousands of children in Britain diagnosed with autism, the trip to see Santa Claus can be a frightening mix of huge crowds and loud noises.
At Wilmslows Way Better we are committed to deliver festive experiences that all children are able to join in without feeling distressed. As part of our Winter Wonderland Weekend, we have introduced special SEND friendly sessions across the weekend at both the grotto and the ice rink.
Instead of the huge queues, we create Santa SEND sessions where there are no flashing lights, no rush, no pressure time slots, Santa and our elves are trained on delivering the very best autism experiences and the loud music has been replaced with an elf quiet sensory zone where children can relax.

We even have BSL trained sign language elves on Sunday 10th December.
A world of wonder and enchantment where our grottos are thoughtfully designed to create a welcoming and inclusive space where families touched by autism can embrace the joy of the festive season.
