Calm Christmas at Blists Hill
Christmas is for everyone, and we’re delighted to offer neurodiverse-friendly sessions to our Victorian Christmas at Blists Hill.
These sessions are designed to provide a more relaxed and comfortable experience, while keeping all the magic and joy of our Victorian Christmas. Fewer guests will attend each session and this relaxed environment will give guests the opportunity to explore and take part in activities at their own pace.
These sessions are open to guests of any age with additional needs.
Our usual sensory bags will be available to borrow for these sessions.
Calm Christmas is available (while tickets last) from 9am - 10.30am on Tuesdays through our Christmas opening. There are other quieter times to visit if tickets sell out. Please email our team who can advise.

Please note:
- Start your visit at our welcome building where the team will be ready to greet you.
- Please arrive anytime within your 15 minute timeslot - you can stay as long as you like. Please note that visitor numbers entering Blists Hill will increase from 11am on the day of Calm Christmas. We expect term time dates to be quieter and holiday dates to be significantly busier from 11am. There are quiet spaces on site - do ask the team if you need support on the day.
- Wrap us as Blists Hill is an open air museum and can be chilly during the winter months.
- Visitors with disabilities can bring up to two essential companions free of charge when paying for a full price ticket or with their National Trust membership. Blue Badge parking is free. Wheelchair & mobility scooter hire available for use in the upper town. Sensory SEND bag & ear defenders available (collect from Welcome on arrival & return).
- Suitable for children accompanied by an adult.
