Our SEND sessions are for anyone who could find a visitor attraction overwhelming when open to the general public, perhaps preferring less people and where any sensory-stimulation is managed, including the lights and sounds. These sessions are also open to family members, friends and carers.
We offer these sessions across 2 slots (10am and 10:15am) on the remaining dates for 2024: 3rd October & 5th December. Ready to book? Click ‘Book Now’ to secure your tickets today.

Our SEND Sessions are an opportunity to experience this immersive walk-through that takes into account people with sensory needs and disabilities.
It is for people who could potentially find a visitor attraction overwhelming when open to the general public. They may prefer less people and where anything sensory stimulating is managed, including the lights and sounds.

For more on accessibility, see our guide below.
Yes there is, and it is called The Guildhall. It can be accessed at the end of the experience with an amazing range of fresh food and drink made on site by our wonderful kitchen team.
For SEND sessions we do also allow food and drink to be brought and consumed in the Café Bar, although where possible try to avoid food and drink in the experience itself.
Yes there is, however please note it does not currently have a hoist. Additionally there are hand dryers in all the toilets, however we understand the noise can be uncomfortable for some, so for the first hour during the SEND session we will switch the hand dryers off and ensure paper towels are available.
We do have a manual wheelchair and 2 sound-cancelling headphones which can be pre-booked for free. Please contact us if you would like to secure one of these for your visit.
Additionally we have created an accessibility guide which you can read before your visit.
We open Wake The Tiger to the general public one hour after the SEND sessions begin. It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 3+ hours plus to walk through the experience, and whilst we will do everything we can to maintain these sessions sensitively, there may be a point, particularly in the Café Bar, whereby the experience will become busier.
We love feedback, so whatever it is we can take it. It helps us grow and improve. If you would like to offer any feedback or suggestions before or after then please do contact us. Equally during the session you can also talk to a member of staff.
