Accessibility at the Festival

Accessibility for Schools

The Festival is for people from all backgrounds and abilities, and we want to make everyone's experience as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.

  • Click here for venue information including a video of arrival to each venue.
  • There are coach drop-off points near all venues. 
  • A Festival volunteer will meet and assist all groups on arrival.
  • All venues are wheelchair accessible but each have limited numbers of wheelchair spaces.
  • Some of our venues will have a dedicated relaxed quiet space.
  • Children with additional support needs can attend any of our performances but some shows are more suitable than others for those with complex needs. This year, we also present Brrr, a sensory and gentle show made especially for children with PMLD.
  • Let us know if you have pupils with access needs (including sight or hearing loss) so we can accommodate them.
  • You can find additional access information such as set, sounds, lighting and audience experience on each show page of the website.
