Events Manager Sam Harrison said: “We’re pleased to be offering our popular Autism Friendly Sessions at every Funtopia this year.

“These sessions are specifically designed to allow children with autism the opportunity to visit Funtopia in a more relaxed and suitable setting. We’ve found that these children can often be forgotten and don’t always get the opportunity to visit events. We hope that they will be popular with the local community.”

Some of the activities included in the exclusive autism session will include sensory fun, no loud music, ‘autism aware’ trained staff and reduced capacity.

Throughout the day visitors can also get stuck into the giant picnic in the park, where refreshments will be sold on site during the day.

Tickets for the main session are priced as any child under 90cm can attend for free, over 90cm it will be £10 and adults are £2.50.

The autism friendly session will be free for children under 90cm, anyone over 90cm will be able to attend for £5 and adults are £2.50.
