SEN Christmas Experience at Cockfields

A calmer way to enjoy the magic of Christmas together.

Join us for a specially adapted version of our North Pole adventure, created with children with special educational needs and their families in mind.

Enjoy the Christmas Village, a private visit to Santa and your very own Build-a-Bear experience, with reduced noise across the farm and no live shows.

A Gentler Christmas Experience

• Low noise throughout the experience and across the farm.
• Just one family per train journey, so you can enjoy the Cockfields Express together in your own space.
• No live shows, with the Build-a-Bear experience still included.
• Santa can communicate using sign language, helping more children feel included in their special visit.

*We will do our very best to accommodate individual needs. Although we are not SEN specialists, we have sought expert advice to help us adapt this event. We cannot guarantee that every need can be met, so please speak to us beforehand about any specific requirements. We are putting on these sessions at a financial loss to the business to make our Christmas experience accessible to more families. Please bear this in mind and show kindness and understanding to our team, who will be doing their best to make your visit special.
