Family visit to Sensory Santa at High Rise Adventure Centre in Lisburn

Autism Friendly Santa Experience at High Rise Lisburn

Santa comes to High Rise Lisburn on Sunday 8 December, when the centre will host autism friendly Clip ‘n Climb and soft play sessions, allowing guests with sensory processing challenges and special educational needs to have a magical experience with their families meeting Santa in a more relaxed setting.
Similar to our weekly autism friendly sessions which take place on every Sunday morning, this event will have reduced numbers and no music so will be suited to autistic / SEN guests and their families.
Guests will have time to enjoy their activity (choice of either Clip ‘n Climb or soft play), supported by our staff who have been specially trained by Autism NI and Guide Dogs NI. Guests will then have the opportunity for a family visit to Santa in our calming sensory room which has been transformed into Santa’s grotto.
High Rise has attained the prestigious Autism NI Impact Award, in recognition of the additional support we provide for our autistic guests and while it is always our aim to be inclusive and accessible at all times for our guests, we know that sometimes just a few small adjustments can make all the difference for someone with additional needs.
Here’s what one family told us about the previous autism friendly Christmas event at High Rise:
“Attended sensory Santa last night and thought it was absolutely brilliant. Very calm, relaxed atmosphere. Kids had a great time. Staff were friendly, helpful and nothing was any trouble at all…Will definitely be back again.”
“We attended the sensory Santa night and were very impressed by the kindness and helpfulness of all the staff. The facilities are excellent and everything is spotlessly clean.”
Tickets for the Clip ‘n Climb session are £20.50 for children (including a gift from Santa) and soft play tickets are £10.95 (including gift). Numbers are limited so early booking is advised.
*Adults do not need to purchase a ticket if they are not participating in Clip ‘n Climb. Adults wishing to climb are priced at £15.50 (with no gift).
