William’s Den Announces Mother’s Day Special and Inclusive Quieter Sessions for SEND Children

Finding a brilliant day out that keeps everyone in the family happy can sometimes feel like a bit of a puzzle. You want something that’s bags of fun for the little ones, but also enjoyable for the grown-ups. And what about making sure it’s a comfortable space for every child? Well, there are some exciting updates from a popular Yorkshire spot that seem to tick all the boxes. William's Den has just announced two fantastic new initiatives: a special treat for Mother’s Day where mums go free, and the introduction of inclusive, supportive play sessions for children who need a calmer environment. These changes are all about making sure more families can create some really happy memories together.

A special way to celebrate mums

Sorting out what to do for Mother’s Day can be a yearly head-scratcher. Instead of the usual flowers or chocolates, how about a proper fun-filled day out where everyone can run around and have a laugh? On Sunday, 15th March 2026, William’s Den is making it easy to celebrate all the amazing mums and mother figures out there. For every child’s ticket purchased for that day, one adult gets free entry. It’s a simple, lovely way to say thank you to the person who’s usually doing all the organising.

From 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, families can explore everything the adventure play area has to offer. Imagine a day packed with climbing, building, and exploring in a place designed to spark kids' imaginations. It’s a chance for the whole family to connect and have a brilliant time, making the day all about shared fun rather than just a gift. This is the perfect opportunity to celebrate your mother. Since Mother’s Day is one of the busiest times of the year for days out, getting your booking in early is a really good idea to make sure you don’t miss out. This is a day to truly celebrate all the brilliant mums, so securing a spot guarantees a fantastic, fun-filled day without any last-minute stress. After all, a happy, relaxed mother is the goal!

Making play accessible for everyone with quieter sessions

For some children, the noise and bustle of a typical play centre can be a bit too much. Kids with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), for instance, might find a loud, crowded space overwhelming, which means families sometimes miss out on these kinds of experiences. Recognising this, William’s Den has introduced something really special: Quieter Sessions. These are dedicated times designed to provide a calm and relaxed environment for play.

These supportive play sessions are all about inclusivity. By limiting the capacity, the whole atmosphere changes. It becomes less chaotic, less noisy, and much more manageable for children who are sensitive to sensory overload. It creates a space where kids with various disabilities can enjoy the fantastic adventure play facilities at their own pace. But it’s not just about turning the volume down. It’s about creating a welcoming community where children can play alongside their peers in an environment that feels safe and supportive. These sessions are a fantastic step forward, ensuring that adventure play is for all families. These important updates show a real commitment to every member of the community.

The new quieter sessions will run on specific dates throughout the year, giving families several opportunities to plan a visit. The upcoming sessions are:

• Friday 6th March 2026, 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm

• Friday 12th June 2026, 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm

• Friday 25th September 2026, 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Each session is thoughtfully scheduled for a Friday afternoon, making it a perfect end-of-week treat. The limited capacity ensures the environment remains calm and relaxed, making these supportive play sessions a genuinely comfortable experience for children with special educational needs and their families.

What these updates mean for families

These two announcements from William’s Den are more than just new events; they show a real understanding of what different families need. The Mother’s Day offer, with its free entry for mums, is a wonderful gesture that acknowledges the hard work of every mother. It turns the day into a shared experience, a fun-filled day that’s less about expense and more about quality time. Planning the booking in advance is key to enjoying this special day designed to celebrate mums.

Perhaps even more significantly, the introduction of the quieter sessions opens doors for families who may have felt excluded from mainstream attractions. For parents of children with special educational needs or disabilities, finding a suitable and enjoyable day out can be a constant challenge. These sessions offer a solution. They provide a predictable, calm environment where children can be themselves and enjoy the simple joy of adventure play. It builds a community of peers and parents who understand each other, creating a network of support. Having dedicated sessions on a Friday evening is a great way to wind down the week. These relaxed sessions are a game-changer, fostering an inclusive environment where every child gets the chance to thrive and have fun with other families.
