Review of Perkisound innovative music and recreation centre.

Hey readers, 

Today going to tell you about  Perkisound and why it makes a perfect day out for children with additional needs. 

Perkisound is a unique and innovative music and recreation centre located in North Warwickshire, not far from Coventry, Nuneaton, Solihull, Birmingham, and Tamworth.

 

It is a musically inspired recreation centre for people with additional needs, their families, friends, and carers. 

The centre provides a safe place to play, learn, enjoy, and develop through music and recreation, which can promote general health and well-being.

 It is a space where people can express themselves freely and with confidence.

Perkisound was founded by Tim and Susie Perkins, both professional musicians and teachers, who were inspired by their autistic son, who is currently a teenager and plays the piano every day. 

They were also influenced by the facilities available for children with additional needs in Oxfordshire, where they lived from 2004 to 2014.

 On first viewing the site, they instantly saw an opportunity to create something different to help their son and others like him. 

The centre was registered in 2017 as a Community Interest Company and officially opened in April 2018 with a series of 6 open weekends featuring bouncy castles and various musical activities.

 

They converted to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation in January 2019, and during this year, they dramatically increased their availability, The spring/Summer season saw 41 open events totalling 123 hours of opening time accessed by 446 visitors. 

In 2020, they started brilliantly with superb January weather and were busy with at least 50 visitors that month. 

People continued to come despite the colder January weather, and shortly after, they were all suddenly hit by the Coronavirus pandemic.

 Like all other organisations, businesses, and even outdoor parks, they entered a 13-week mandatory closure. 

Early on in lockdown, they decided to remove the hired sensory room and improve the outdoor facilities with a commercial quality trampoline meeting safety standards EN1176 and the Hawkley trim trail, a great assembly of climbing and balancing log structures. 

Both new items have proved to be immensely popular with their attendees!

Perkisound provides a wide range of facilities and equipment, including an outdoor commercial standard trampoline, adult-size nest swing, log climbing feature, Hawkley trim trail, rock hold climbing tunnel, interactive water wall, football goal and basketball net, playhouse with slide, insect hotel, hammock, Rainwheel with Perkisound logo, bench seating, picnic tables, and a covered veranda seating area.

 The outdoor music area is one of the most striking features at Perkisound and is constantly evolving with new additions arriving every year.
