Nutley Farm is delighted to organise a Sen-Friendly Christmas Lights and Reindeer Experience on
Wednesday, 3rd December!
We are launching our special SEN-Friendly Christmas Lights and Reindeer Experience, tailored to provide a magical and comfortable visit for children and young people with SEN and Autism in Dorset. Our aim is to create a calm, supportive, and joyful environment for all to enjoy this festive season.
When arriving at Nutley Farm, you’ll be greeted by beautiful illuminations and enchanting displays. Our latest trail ‘FOLLOW THE LOST REINDEER’ features five new themed chapters, many new light installations, enhanced magical interactions, and fabulous higher-quality projections.
Discover 20 hidden reindeer characters along our illuminated trail, and enjoy meeting Nutley Farm’s real-life magical reindeer, Rudolph, Prancer, Sprout and Parsnip.
SENSORY ADJUSTMENTS
No music in the barn or festive area for a quieter, sensory-friendly experience
Reduced volume of music along the illuminated trail to allow for a peaceful walk through the lights.
EXTRA SUPPORT
Additional friendly and supportive staff will be on hand to assist and provide guidance throughout the event.
MEET FATHER CHRISTMAS
We’ve extended the time between visits to ensure a relaxed and unhurried experience for everyone.
Father Christmas bookings are an optional extra for visitors who are attending the Christmas Lights and Reindeer Experience. You CANNOT visit Father Christmas without attending our Christmas Lights and Reindeer Experience.
PREPARATION VIDEO
We can send a video in advance to help you and your family prepare for what to expect during the visit – please contact us to find out more.
SOCIAL AND SENSORY STORIES
