Accessible Performances

Relaxed Performances Our relaxed performances offer an opportunity for visitors with Autistic Spectrum Disorders, or learning/sensory needs, to enjoy top quality theatre in a friendly, relaxed and informal environment. We like to think of them as the opposite of a 'Quiet Carriage' of a train. The audience will be free to make noise or move around. In preparation for your visit, you may wish to contact us to organise a touch tour, or download a Visual Story of our venue.

For all of our Relaxed Performances we offer a no-questions-asked refund policy right up until the moment the show starts.

For recommendations of on the best seats for visibility of the interpretation, feel free to contact our box office.
