Access Services
Great theatre and very helpful staff, especially to assist people with disabilities."
Facebook comment, June 2017
We are committed to being accessible and welcoming to everyone. To make your visit as enjoyable as possible we offer a range of services that includes:
Captioned Performances
(speech is relayed live onto a screen, similar to television subtitles and ideal for those who may find it difficult hearing every word)
Headsets offering amplified sound from the stage (available at all performances; please ask at the Ticket Office for advice on the best places to sit)

British Sign Language Performances
(A BSL interpreter will stand in a visible position and interpret the spoken and heard elements of the performance.)
Audio Described performances (a live narrator describes the action on stage between the dialogue, via headphones)
Touch Tours (accompanying audio described performances, designed for blind or partially sighted audience members) the touch tours will start 90 minutes before the performance time.
Relaxed Performances (aimed at anyone who would benefit from a laid back environment, including young children who may be afraid of the dark or those on the autistic spectrum). For these performances we have designed a Social Story explaining what happens during a show.
Guide dogs and Hearing dogs are welcome, Please advise ticket sales when booking.
