We’re using BSL a little bit differently for this year’s pantomime, it will be lightly integrated across a selected number of performances marked as BSL. We’re always improving what we do based on audience feedback and industry best practice and are working towards making our pantomime as accessible as possible. With this in mind, we have taken the decision to focus on opening up our offer to include more captioned (CAP) and audio described (AD) performances too, on top of our two relaxed performances. 

If you need support in selecting the best tickets for you or your group please contact our Box Office team.
