We are offering ASN sessions for families with additional support needs on Monday 16 and Thursday 19 October at 15.00 and 15.30. Please select either of these dates to book ASN session tickets.
These sessions will run with a reduced capacity and we’ll have extra team members on hand to help create a safer, calmer environment for families who need a little extra support. A sheltered seating area will be available as well as additional accessible parking spaces close to the patch.
