Funtopia at Stamford Rec

The big day out for little kids is coming to Stamford for the first time ever on Saturday 4 June and, this year the team are holding an Autism, SEND and 'mobility issue' friendly session too!

Their fun-filled festival – designed especially for under 10s, is filled with all the fun and games your family could want to make this exciting visit one to be remembered! Funtopia has high energy inflatables, role play areas, shows and competitions, character meet and greets, giant games, huge water fights, a tasty food court and more!

They also have an Under 5s area for our mini guests, filled with bouncy castles, soft play, ball pool and other fun toys and games.

After a hugely successful trial of their Autism Friendly Sessions in 2022, the team have decided to offer one session at the start of every Funtopia they host this year.

The Stamford autism-friendly session will begin at 10:30am and go on until 11:30am. After that, the session continues - and if you are enjoying it, you are welcome to stay.

Sessions cost only £5, with those under 90cm, as well as adults, going free of charge. For those enjoying the session, your autism-friendly ticket can be extended to a full-day ticket for only £5. Purchase tickets here.

Funtopia will be held at Stamford Recreation Ground, Recreation Ground Road, Stamford, PE9 1EN.
