We’re welcoming author Carys Bexington and illustrator Kate Hindley for a fun-filled wonderland treat, designed for SEND families.
Discover their enchanting picture book The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland, which reimagines Lewis Carroll’s whimsical Wonderland world – but this time, it’s St. Nick’s turn for an adventure down the rabbit hole!
This relaxed event has been designed for families with special educational needs and disabilities and will have reduced numbers. If your family does not need to attend the relaxed event, please book onto the afternoon workshop instead.
Join Carys and Kate to discover their picture book through storytelling and fun draw-a-longs. Then sit back, relax, and enjoy a special screening of the animated film adaptation from Lupus Films. A dedicated sensory room will also be available for children needing a quieter and calmer space.
Please book one ticket for every member of your group.
Please note this screening is for family audiences only. This film has been BBFC classified a U – but assessing suitability of any film is the responsibility of parents/guardians. Please see www.bbfc.co.uk for more information on film ratings and content guidelines.
