Sleeping Beauty

Thu 10 Dec 1pm & Fri 01 Jan 2.30pm

Relaxed performances are specially designed to provide a supportive environment for children and adults with learning difficulties, special needs or Autistic Spectrum Condition. The performances are open to everyone but will be particularly suited to these groups.

What happens at Relaxed performances?

• The auditorium lights will be kept low throughout the show and any loud noises on stage will be softened.
• Audience members may leave or re-join the performance at any time and staff will be on hand to help out.
• A visual story can be downloaded in advance (see below) to explain what to expect from the performance and how to find your way around the theatre.
• There will be a chill-out area set aside for those who need time out from the performance.

The pantomime is family-friendly and traditional in format with a hero, a villain, a dame and lots of music and audience participation.

The running time will be approximately 2 hours with an interval of 15-20 minutes after one hour.

If you'd like any further information on Relaxed performances please speak to a member of our Box Office on 01962 840 440.
