Back by popular demand, the Festive Gardens SEN Nights return to the Chelsea & Maxwell Gardens in Telford Town Park.
This night is for those who prefer a more relaxed setting, so we’ll turn the sound levels down, have fewer flashing lights and limit numbers so that you can enjoy your experience in a less busy environment.
The trail will feature stunning light displays, photo opportunities and maybe the odd elf (or two).
Once you have exited the gardens, there will be a zone around the band stand where you can grab a drink and a hot dog (sold separately), listen to a story, build your own Lego toy and meet some animal friends we visiting especially for this night.
The trail is step free but there are gradual hills and mixed terrain so please bear this in mind if bringing a pushchair or if there is anyone with mobility issues in your party. For the SEN Friendly night, your ticket grants you multiple entry within the hour you’ve purchased (more details in the FAQs).
