Alongside the many places to see Santa in Dorset, SEN Santa sessions across Dorset have been scheduled to make sure all children can visit Santa regardless of any special educational needs. A quiet visit to Santa without loud noises, or being able to take away the queues, or flashing lights.

Groves Garden Centre SEN Santa Session
Dates: 13th December 2023
Santa is visiting Groves in the festive marquee for SEN visits to Santa between 5-7pm. The sessions will have no queues, loud noises or flashing lights, and will take place in 5 minute time slots.

Moonacre SEN Santa Sessions
Dates: from 2nd December 2023
Book your slot to see Santa this December in Sturminster Marshall at Moonacre. SEN sessions are available for booking.

Adventure Wonderland SEN Santa Sessions
Dates: 2nd December 2023
One of the popular Christmas events in Bournemouth is at Adventure Wonderland near Bournemouth airport. You can visit Santa in his grotto and enjoy the Wizard of Oz panto performance.

Stewarts Garden Centre SEN Santa Sessions
The SEN sessions at Stewarts Garden Centre in Christchurch and Wimborne will have no flashing lights and the music on the animated band will be switched off. There will be a smaller number of visitors in each 15 minute slot compared to the general admission.
One of the friendly elves can, if required, stay with your group through the whole experience to help ensure your child’s needs are met.
