Creating the Best Experience for Every Family
Our main Christmas sessions are high-energy, immersive adventures designed around completing a series of tasks within a structured storyline. Children take part in puzzles and challenges and are invited to participate in specific moments when prompted by our performers.
While we aim to create a magical environment for all, these sessions may not be the most comfortable experience for children who benefit from a more flexible or low-sensory setting.
For children with additional needs such as autism, ADHD, or sensory processing differences, we highly recommend our dedicated SEN sessions, which has less performer engagement, softer lighting and sound and a more relaxed pace.
Please note: Children with Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) are likely to find our Christmas events particularly difficult, as they rely on following structured prompts and completing specific tasks to progress.
Please note if you wish to bring a neurodivergent child or child with additional learning needs to a non SEN session and receive a carer ticket we will allocate you a slot at the beginning or end of a session subject to availability. Please do not be offended if we will not offer you a slot in the middle of a busy session as in our experience these slots are not suitable for children with additional needs as there are simply too many people and it can be very overwhelming with additional queuing. Please also don’t be offended if we need to ask for more information about any additional needs to assess whether a time slot will be suitable.
If you want to book the middle of a session (even though we don’t recommend it) a carer ticket will not be possible unfortunately and you will have to pay full price if you decide to book for that slot anyway. Thank you for your understanding.
Please note that we do not recommend bringing children with additional needs at weekends/busy evening sessions such as Fridays (other than the beginning or end of session) as it can be very busy and therefore be rather overwhelming.
There is also likely to be additional queuing required especially during the Christmas Market weekends (29th/30th November and 6th/7th December) so we would very much recommend booking a different date if you or your child has any issue with queuing or suffers from an sensory disorder.
This year we are offering a carer ticket at the reduced rate of £15.00. To receive a link to book a session with a carer ticket included please email our Head of Events Sam on magicalleystratford@gmail.com Please include the date and time you are looking to attend and attach the evidence to the email please
It will be necessary to submit proof unfortunately due to the number of people who have tried to take advantage of the system in the past.
To be eligible for a carer ticket you will need to provide one of the following documents:
Blue Badge
Access Card
DLA Letter
(Along with the ID of the person named within the letter)
Carer tickets are not available for under 5 sessions and are automatically included in the specific SEN sessions.
Please note that carer tickets are for those over 18. If you have a young carer (under 18) you can still have a carer ticket but you will need to bring an extra adult with you.
Please note there is one carer ticket available per booking
