Winter Glow has extended its sensory-friendly programme for Christmas 2026, with dedicated sessions across several of its popular festive attractions
Running from Fri 20 Nov – Thu 31 Dec 2026 at the Three Counties Showground in Malvern, Winter Glow is expanding its accessible offering following positive feedback from families last year.
Visitors to the festive attraction can enjoy ice skating on the West Midlands' largest indoor ice rink, UV Glow Crazy Golf, the Illuminated Light Trail featuring more than 30 installations and personalised Father Christmas experiences. This year's Light Trail follows a new theme, The Tale of Atlas Frost.
Sensory-friendly ice skating
New for 2026, dedicated sensory-friendly ice-skating sessions will feature reduced capacity and lower music volume. Sessions take place at 6pm on Fri 4, 11 and 18 Dec, with an additional session at 5pm on Sun 27 Dec.
Sensory-friendly Illuminated Light Trail
Sensory-friendly Light Trail sessions will begin at 4.15pm while it is still daylight, with reduced capacity and lower music volume. Sessions will take place on Fri 27 Nov and Fri 4, 11 and 18 Dec.
Sensory-friendly Father Christmas experiences
Dedicated Father Christmas sessions will also offer reduced capacity and lower music volume. Sessions take place at 5.40pm on Fri 27 Nov and Fri 4 and 11 Dec.
On Fri 18 Dec, additional sensory-friendly Father Christmas sessions will be available at 10.20am and 6.20pm.
Chris Tarren, Founder of Winter Glow, said:
“Winter Glow is all about having magical Christmas fun together and we want that to be accessible to as many visitors as possible. Changes we made last year were really well received so we've worked hard to offer extra sensory-friendly sessions to enable even more families to join us.”
