Child Gaming Sessions in November 2024
Join us at our Technology & Gaming centre during November for one of our much loved gaming sessions for disabled children! Every Wednesday afternoon.
We have various games and control methods to ensure everyone can game! So, if your disability holds you back from gaming, we will match technology to your needs to ensure you can play.
IMPORTANT: We have two ticket types:
1. General admission tickets for each gamer plus any friends or family who will be gaming with them (one ticket per gamer – parents or carers who are not gaming, do not need a ticket).
2. Assistive tickets for children who require assistance while playing such as specialist equipment or support from a member of staff. Please only book one of these tickets for the individual who requires assistance, and book general admission tickets for accompanying gamers who do not require assistance.
As a general rule of thumb, any children who play video games using a standard controller with both hands should book one general admission ticket per gamer. A child who requires one-to-one support from staff/volunteers, and the use of our specialist assistive equipment and adaptions to enable them to play video games, should book ‘one’ assistive ticket for the gamer who requires support, and ‘one’ general admission ticket per additional gamer playing with a standard controller.
Whereas our gaming sessions are only open to children who have a disability, we encourage our gamers to bring along friends or family to game with, disabled or not. But please be aware that we limit this to two guests per disabled gamer. As with booking tickets for your child, or a person you care for, you need to book one general admission ticket per guest.
PLEASE AIM TO ARRIVE AT A SESSION NO MORE THAN 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE START TIME .
If you feel your child may struggle to join in due to their disability please give us a call on 0808 800 0009 to talk things through so we can look at ways in which to support and include you into the group.
The gaming sessions are completely free but donations are welcome and we have an accessible lift for any wheelchair users. If you have any questions or concerns please email us on [email protected] or call 0808 800 0009
