Our relaxed events have been developed in consultation with our audiences, industry experts and visiting companies to make productions and events more accessible to audiences who are usually excluded from cultural spaces. Relaxed events are programmed to ensure everyone is able to access and benefit from engaging with live performance and feel welcome in our venue. People with Autism Spectrum Conditions and other neurodivergent conditions such as Tourette’s Syndrome or ADHD, those with a learning disability, those bringing children to the theatre, and people with Dementia or Alzheimer’s may benefit from a relaxed event.
