'Council commits to providing accessible activities with Inclusive Nights at Splash World Southport'

More than three thousand people visited Splash World Southport over the late May Bank Holiday weekend following the reopening of the popular indoor water park.

On the back of the incredibly successful reopening, Sefton Council is delighted to confirm the return of Splash World's Inclusive Nights for those with varying disabilities.
 
The exclusive events, also popularly known as ‘Quiet Nights,’ are specific nights held at the indoor water park designed to create a calming and fun filled atmosphere for those who are neurodiverse or have disabilities.
 
During the Inclusive Nights sessions, access is also given to the child’s parents, carers, family and friends so they can all enjoy the Splash World facilities together.
 
Cllr Ian Moncur, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing, said: “The response to the announcement that Splash World is reopening has been incredible.
 
“So many people can’t wait to get back in the water and that includes our children and young people who are differently abled or are neurodiverse.
 
“Our Inclusive Nights sessions are hugely popular with dimmed lighting, reduced noise and specialist equipment to aid and increase enjoyment without overstimulation.
 
“I know this news will be warmly welcomed by our families in Sefton who have children who are neurodiverse and we have already received messages of thanks by parents for bringing these sessions back.”
 
Cllr Mhairi Doyle, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Children’s Social Care, said: “Sefton Council is wholly committed to doing as much as we can to provide activities and events for our children and young people who may otherwise find it difficult to enjoy certain settings.
 
“Splash World is no different and we all know how loud and wild this fantastic indoor water park can get when people are enjoying themselves!
 
“That’s why we created Inclusive Nights as a bespoke way of making sure those who are neurodiverse or differently abled get the maximum enjoyment out of a trip to Splash World.
 
“This is a perfect example of departments across the council putting our children at the heart of everything we do and I cannot wait to see Inclusive Nights return.”
