While we have booked plenty of tickets to help ensure that most attendees for this time slot (7pm start time) are families of children and young people with SEND, please note that this is NOT an exclusive booking for our families.

However, the park and the trail are quite accessible from our experience, so we hope that everyone enjoys the session nonetheless. 🙂

The immersive light show is designed for all ages, from families, couples, groups, and everyone in between.
