The Chill Tent Experience

The Chill Tent is a thoughtfully designed, professionally staffed pop-up space that offers calm, regulation and sensory relief within busy, high-energy events — without disrupting atmosphere or brand identity.

It is not a clinical quiet room, and it is not a children’s corner.
It is an inclusive wellbeing space that enhances audience experience and accessibility across all ages.

What it feels like inside

The space is intentionally calm, welcoming and neutral in tone.

Soft lighting, flexible seating, gentle sensory resources and clear visual boundaries allow visitors to:

• Step away from noise and crowds

• Regulate sensory overwhelm

• Reset emotionally

• Re-enter the event feeling able to engage again

The design avoids medical or school-style aesthetics.
It feels safe, considered and adult-appropriate, while remaining accessible for children and young people.

Who uses the Chill Tent

The Chill Tent is used by a wide range of attendees, including:

• Neurodivergent children, young people and adults

• Individuals with sensory sensitivities, anxiety or fatigue

• Families needing a regulated space during long events

• Adults who simply need a calm moment before returning to the crowd

Usage is self-directed and stigma-free.
People come in, take what they need, and move on — often returning later.

Flow and atmosphere

The Chill Tent is designed to work with an event, not against it.

• Visitors can dip in and out easily

• The space supports regulation rather than withdrawal

• Staffing ensures the environment remains calm, respectful and welcoming

• Clear boundaries prevent overcrowding or misuse

From the outside, it presents as a positive, purposeful addition to the event — not something hidden away.

Staffed, supported, and well managed

The Chill Tent is always professionally staffed by trained practitioners and volunteers with SEND experience and lived understanding.

Staff are present to:

• Welcome visitors

• Maintain a calm, safe environment

• Offer gentle guidance where needed

• Support emotional regulation without intrusion

This is not a drop-in space left unattended.
It is actively managed, safeguarding-aware, and responsive throughout the event.

Why this matters for your event

When delivered well, a space like this:

• Improves overall audience experience

• Reduces overwhelm-related incidents elsewhere on site

• Supports inclusion without compromising vibe

• Demonstrates genuine commitment to accessibility and wellbeing

• Helps events meet growing audience expectations around inclusion

The Chill Tent allows people to stay longer, engage more positively, and leave with a better experience overall.

Designed to adapt

Every event is different.
The Chill Tent can be adapted to suit:

• Audience profile

• Event size and duration

• Indoor or outdoor settings

• Family-focused or adult-focused events

We work collaboratively with organisers to ensure the space complements the event rather than feeling bolted on.
