Sensory friendly storytime and meet the animals at Edendale

Next date: Wednesday, 22 October 2025 | 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM

Grandparents, carers and children with autism or with sensory disabilities are invited for a sensory-friendly storytime and to meet the animals at Edendale Farm. Children will get an opportunity to get up close with the animals, including feeding and patting them in a small, sensory-friendly group.

Farmer Karina will share a classic farmyard book, suited to young children with a disability, in the beautiful surrounds of Edendale Farm. A social story that helps young children with sensory disabilities to prepare for their visit is available on this webpage. A quiet space will be provided on the day as well.

All registered attendees will receive a free voucher for a drink and a snack at Edendale's Cafe Eden.

Bookings are required.
