Our SENsations class at Park Street is our SEN theatre group. During this class we discover all areas of the performing arts in a fun and relaxed environment, where our primary focus is to make friends and enjoy ourselves! These activities include musical theatre, dancing, playing with musical instruments and learning Makaton to some of our favourite songs. This class is open to teenagers, young adults and adults of all ages and we already have a mix of age ranges currently attending who can’t wait to make more, new friends.

Classes are every Monday from 5:00pm until 6:30pm and cost just £5, but you can try your first class out for free.

Autism Friendly Screenings

A number of cinemas run regular autism-friendly film sessions. The films are shown with low-level lighting and reduced sound-levels and the auditorium is opened before each showing to allow audiences time to familiarise themselves with the space before the start of the film.

The screenings are aimed at both children and adults on the autistic spectrum, along with their carers, families and/or friends, so it is fine for audiences to move around, make noise and take breaks during the film.

Please visit the cinema websites for further information:
