Winter Wonderland Reimagined

Sensory Santa

Christmas, Made Magical

On Wednesday, 2nd December from 4pm – 9:30pm, Westport Estate will host our annual Sensory Santa at Winter Wonderland. A calmer, more relaxed festive experience for children with autism, sensory sensitivities, or those who benefit from a gentler environment.

With softer music, reduced numbers and individual family visits with Santa, the experience is designed to be peaceful while still full of Christmas magic.

Families can also meet Mrs Claus, explore the Christmas Village, meet the playful Elves and enjoy the festive atmosphere.
