Bringing the magic of inclusivity to Antrim Castle Gardens

This traditional Christmas family event will be adapted on Wednesday 6 December and Wednesday 13 December for adults and children with additional needs.

To ensure everyone’s comfort and enjoyment, the key features of the Inclusive evenings are:

• Reduced capacity meaning a more relaxed/calm environment
• Lighting will be kept static, with no strobe or strong effects
• Reduced sound and music levels
• Sensory and Quiet rooms, ideal for children and adults with additional needs
• Attractions and rides will be slowed down
• Mobility Assistance (Mobility Scooters/ Wheelchairs can be hired by appointment only)
• Santa will have a BSL interpreter alongside him
• Changing Places Facility onsite as well as a Mobile Changing Places Facility (AccessoLoo)

Mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey, Councillor Mark Cooper commented, “Enchanted Winter Garden has become a festive-family tradition for people across Northern Ireland and further afield over the past 10 years.”

“Our Borough strives to be accessible for all and we will continue to ensure that all our events are as inclusive as possible for everyone’s enjoyment.”
