Everyone should be able to enjoy the magic of Christmas. That’s why we’ve included a range of accessible and inclusive experiences in this year’s Christmas programme, helping visitors of all ages and abilities celebrate the season in a way that suits them.
From additional facilities to dedicated sensory-friendly events, we’re making it easier for people with different access and sensory needs to take part in the festivities and make Lisburn part of their Christmas.
A Changing Places unit and accessible portable toilets will be available throughout the season at the Christmas Light Trail in Castle Gardens. Families and visitors who need a quieter space can also make use of dedicated quiet stations at the Irish Linen Centre and Lisburn Museum.
Sign Language will be available on selected dates at Santa’s Grotto, the Christmas Light Switch-On and the Lisburn to Lapland Elfie Tour.
There will also be a range of dedicated sensory-friendly experiences, including a sensory night at Lisburn Light Trail with reduced noise levels, sensory buses and sensory Santa visits. Other opportunities to enjoy the celebrations include a sensory-friendly silent Christmas disco and a sensory friendly Christmas experience at Indiana Land.
