Sensitive Santa is created for families with children who have physical or behavioral special needs that find it challenging to have a photo with Santa under normal conditions. We strive to create an environment which considers their sensory barriers. For example, these sessions are run outside of busy trading times, the lights are dimmed and the music is turned off. Please only book a Sensory Photo if this applies to you and leave these sessions for the families who really need it.
