Join us to celebrate the start of 12 days of incredible sport, as Sense Active and Sense TouchBase Pears host a Paris 2024 Paralympics Party. We will provide a space for everyone to come together to enjoy some Paralympics themed activities and to experience the Opening Ceremony of the Games in a relaxed and supported environment.

Our Paris 2024 Paralympics Party / Opening Ceremony relaxed showing will take place on Wednesday 28th August, 6pm - 10pm (arrive and leave as you wish) at Sense TouchBase Pears.

The relaxed showing of the Opening Ceremony aims to include the following adaptations:

  • relaxed environment in which to enjoy the ceremony on a large screen (and smaller devices if required) with soft lighting and a range of seating options
  • on-screen British Sign Language (BSL) interpretation via Channel 4
  • open descriptive commentary via Channel 4
  • on-screen closed captions
  • sensory technology (TBC)

There will also be an opportunity to have a go at some Paralympic sports and enjoy some Paralympics themed arts and crafts. All attendees are encouraged to bring your own food and drinks to enjoy, and there will be tables and chairs available as well as spaces to enjoy a picnic.
