Access & Relaxed Performances
We have accessible toilets, lift access to all areas, and front row wheelchair spaces in the Theatre. Wheelchair users and visually impaired people are entitles to a free ticket for a personal assistant/essential companion. Guide dogs are welcome. Please let us know any access requirements when you book.
Relaxed Performances have been designed for people who will benefit from a more laid back and less formal theatre experience. This could include adults or children with learning difficulties, autism or sensory communication disorders.

Babes in Arms
We strive to be as inclusive as possible and have a passion for inspiring children in the arts from a very early age. Reflecting this throughout our programme, we welcome babes in arms for the majority of our shows. We realise that deciding which shows are suitable for babies is subjective and so we leave it up to the parents or carers discretion, however if you are wondering about the content of any of our performances, please do reach out to us via social media or our Box Office team.
For most of our shows, we don’t expect our audience members to pay to bring their young baby along. We do however programme a selection of shows per year which are specifically aimed at engaging babies and their parent/carer, and a ticket for them is required. This will be clear at the time of booking.
