About This Event

The Andrew Simpson Centre Portland in Poole will host the Sailing for Beginners event on 12 September 2026, offering an exciting chance for autistic children and those with social anxiety to experience sailing firsthand. Various performers will guide enthusiastic young sailors as they get out on the water to make friends and learn about watersports. Tickets cost between £3.00 and £8.00 to secure a place in this spirited session aimed at fun and friendship. Participants will dive into the thrill of the activity while building confidence on the waves.

An opportunity for Autistic or socially anxious children to have a go at sailing

The beginner's sailing sessions aim to get everyone out on the water, have fun, make friends and learn about watersports. The staff at ASC-Portland tailor the sessions to the participants ensuring a safe and fun environment is created through sailing and watersports.

Staff: child ratios are kept low so the children can make happy memories and feel confident on the water.

We are offering two pricing options so families can choose the rate that best reflects their circumstances. If you are able to choose the Supporter rate, you help another family attend an ASCape event at a reduced cost.

Places are limited to 6 children after which we will have a waiting list. Parent-carers do not need a separate ticket. Places are limited, so please be considerate of others if your child has attended one of ASCape's Sailing sessions previously.

All young people need to be registered to attend an ASCape event: https://ascape.uk.juice.software/registration

ASC-Portland require that an indemnity form MUST be completed for ALL children attending: https://andrewsimpsoncentres.tfaforms.net/92?ASF=a0jTu000006FSVB
