THREE additional support needs ice skating sessions will be held at the Christmas Fair @ George Square this year.
The sessions will be held at 10am on Sunday, December 4, 11, and 18. Each one has been carefully curated to support people and their families with ASN requirements by making it a more sensory-friendly environment.
Visitor capacity to the ice rink will be reduced from 150 to 100 and the sound and lighting will be toned down to make the experience more sensory-sensitive and comfortable.
