Escape the Flashing Lights & Noise

Do you get sensory overload from the crowds, flashing lights and loud sounds at the Atherton Show?

Tablelands Regional Council is once again partnering with the Atherton Show to create a quieter and calmer experience for show goers.

‘We have created a free Wonderland Glow Garden as part of Atherton Show’s Inclusion Program,’ said Councillor Con Spanos.

‘The calming space has a gentle garden-like setting with glow-in-the-dark features, soft music and sensory activities — all part of the whimsical world of Alice in Wonderland.

‘Our Wonderland Glow Garden will be near the Louise Street entrance to the showgrounds,’ said Councillor Spanos.

Atherton Show’s Inclusion Program includes a range of other programs and initiatives.

At 9am–12noon on Monday 30 June there will be a Sensory Session with reduced noise and no flashing lights across the showgrounds.

During this time there’s free entry for accompanying Companion/Carers cardholders, and $7 for age, veteran and disability pensioners (9am–12noon Monday).
