Our relaxed performance will be on Monday 29th December at 2:00pm. The house lights will be kept on throughout the performance, with reduced sound, no loud bangs or flashing lighting. Carers accompanying an audience member with additional needs will be granted a free ticket. See below.
Our chilled performance will be on Saturday 13th December at 2:00pm. This will provide a more casual theatre-going experience, with rules on noise and movement being more relaxed. They do not include any changes to the show and are ideal for those who like a more informal atmosphere. Chilled performances mean, for example, that someone with dementia is free to ask a companion what is going on in the show if they get lost, or a parent with a babe-in-arms can come along without worrying, knowing they can leave the auditorium and come back as they need.
New Year’s Eve
After the success of last year’s party, we will be seeing in 2026 with a New Years Eve finale performance AND an after-show party which will include a disco, Bar and buffet!
