Our wonderful Christmas event sees visitors returning year after year.
The S.E.N.D. event is especially for families of children with special educational needs and disabilities.
All the play facilities will be open to use, as well as our very special Christmas experience.
The event is on Friday 29th November from 2.45pm.
Adult carers are free of charge (you must book a ticket for them though, but there is no charge for it).
Family and friends are welcome to attend too.
Visits are for 2.5 hours and tickets are very limited, so please book now.

It's a fun-packed 2.5 hour visit full of festive activities and is suitable for children of all ages, including babies.

Babies under 3 months of age do not need a ticket. They can explore all the areas and meet Father Christmas, but will not receive the gifts or gingerbread.
Children between the ages of 13 and 17 need to be part of a group that contains both children aged 12 and under and adults over 18.

"We had the absolute best time at Riverside Hub yesterday! It’s so hard to find something to do that all of our boys will enjoy over Christmas, but Riverside had something for every single one of them and they all rated it 10/10 and begging for us to do it all again next Christmas 🎅🏼🎄" 47keeleyb, Trip Advisor.
