Relaxed Performance
You’re in safe hands
Relaxed Performance 22 December at 2pm | BSL interpreted
We know for some a busy concert hall can be overwhelming so our relaxed performances are designed to make everyone feel at home.
- Relaxed performances are perfect for people with autism, disabilities, and anxiety, they invite guests to move around, make some noise and come and go as they wish.
- Our narrator will introduce each performance, so everything is easy to follow and understand.
- The hall doors will open 45 minutes before the performance starts and will stay open. Meaning ample time to get comfy and there’s an easy exit if a little break in our quiet breakout space is needed.
- There’s no interval, so once everyone’s comfy, there’s no need to move again, if you don’t want to.
- There are no loudspeaker announcements, just our super friendly staff who will be on hand to help you find your seat fuss free.
- Plus our hall lights will be left on, and we promise no surprising or moving lights will catch you off guard.
The BSL signer will be at the front of the stage, on stage right (East side of the hall). Please call or visit our Box Office to find the best seats for you.
