Gulliver’s takeover day/overnight stay

We attended our 1st ever Aworld event at Gulliver’s which included the overnight stay. We all had an amazing time. So many things were thought about such as the entertainment in the starlight venue the night before the takeover day, this was a major highlight for my son as he sat front row for the whole show. The takeover day itself was also amazing and he had such a good time and the wait times were minimal. We found out about your events through the charity shop in Harpurhey. My son goes in every single day after school as part of his routine and the staff are amazing and so understanding to his needs. We have also got the illuminations tram booked in November. We cant wait to attend more events in the future. We will forever be greatful to this amazing charity and everything they do.

Absolutely brilliant

Absolutely brilliant, the a world opens the door to opportunities to a lot of experiences that people wouldn’t be able to access, having a child with extra needs is hard enough with the extra costs and the a world offers those experiences without the extra costs and also it is always such a blessing to be around other extra needs parents and families where there is no judgements and plenty of understanding and even some friendships from the events, my daughter has made and kept a few friends from the trips and events the a world offers and any extra needs parent knows, keeping friends is not a easy feat. Thank you A World for all you do and bringing us all together to celebrate our differences as one.

Our favourite day trips

We love this charity's take over events. It's great to spend a day with other families who understand our lives. There's always so much fun to be had and caring acceptance for those who might find the day overwhelming. We're so grateful for these events 🙏 Emma Murray

An lifeline for families providing a vital service

The A world is nothing short of fantastic we have taken part in takeovers to gullivers world and bewilderwood and have just purchased tickets to Blackpool zoo it has meant my child can go on a day out without feeling self conscious about wearing ear defenders and getting overwhelmed because there is no judgement which in turn has meant we can spend time making memories as a family worry free

Perfect weekend

We attended the gullivers world day and also got to stay over on the Friday night at the gullivers Hotel. The kids had an amazing jam packed evening with lots of fun entertainment and also made some new friends which for my son is not something he does easily. The day at gullivers was another fun day as always and the kids love the rides and also loved bumping into their new friends on the way round. Its amazing to be able to have these events where there is no judgement when my son is having a meltdown or gets sensory overload and has to regulate. These events are wonderful and happy to support the a world too. Emily Ablett

Lovely experience for our children!

We had a lovely experience at Chester Zoo. My neurodiverse children really enjoyed it at their pace. They gave us a timeslot which was the quietest and perfect for our children to be themselves and do not feel looked at or judged. I only have kind words for them as we would have never been able to afford the tickets otherwise and get such an appropriate environment for them. The event was on august 2023.

Awesome World!

My family recently attended the Gullivers take over. The whole day was so well organised, the staff were all lovely and it felt great to be in a place where my children were safe and there was no judgement. We’ve been lucky enough to get tickets for a few events now and we’ve loved each and every one. It’s such an invaluable service that the A World is providing and I hope it continues for years to come.

We love the days out and cannot recommend enough it’s given us experiences as a family which we had thought wouldn’t happen with my little one not being able to cope in a busy environment

The A world has been a life saver for…

The A world has been a life saver for us as a family. We have been to several A world events including Guillivers world and land of lights, and we are looking forward to Blackpool Zoo next year! They are days me and my partner can look forward to as we have no anxiety as it’s a judgment free zone where we can make happy memories and feel comfortable that we don’t have to defend our beautiful son simply for being himself. We feel supported, calm and happy and I know these feelings create a calm atmosphere for our son so we can all enjoy the day together. It is also so lovely to be around other families who are in the same position as us and it is nice for us to chat to other families, gain advice or simply share a smile and understanding. Thank you A world for the amazing job you do. You have no idea how your events make such a difference to our son and families like us. Katie Smith.

We had a great experience

We had a great experience thanks to The A world. My sons and I have made memories and happy moments that we will treasure. We stayed in one of the caravans they offer and we couldn’t fault anything. We’re grateful and thankful for the opportunity ☺️
