Accessibility

Audio-described Events

Audio description is a narration service provided at no additional charge to the patron that describes what the sighted person takes for granted - those images that a person who is blind or visually impaired formerly could only experience through the whispered asides from a sighted companion. Patrons are issued with headsets and sit in the auditorium with the headphone in one ear, listening to the description alongside the show. Events also include an audio-described exhibition tour.

Touch Tours

A touch tour allows blind or low vision patrons the opportunity to get up close with elements of the production prior to a show.The content of touch tours varies according to the event, but most include the opportunity to be guided around and touch the set and props and meet some of the cast. This personal tactile interaction helps fill in the gaps for patrons who gain a sense and feel of the production. Meeting the actors gives them an idea of their characters, costumes and voices.

Relaxed Performance

Relaxed events are for anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed theatre experience. Autistic people or those with sensory sensitivities or learning disabilities may find these shows especially welcoming. Our sensory relaxed shows will offer preshow demonstrations of light, sound and action to our Access patrons. Show-specific support/resources are available to prepare audiences for coming to a relaxed show.

Wheelchair accessible

These events are wheelchair accessible with lifts and ramps available for those with difficulty accessing stairs. Seated venues have specific allocated spaces accessible for wheelchair users and companion seats.

Hearing Loop

Hearing aid loops are available at specific venues. To use the loop, switch hearing aids to 'tele'. Venues have specific areas that are covered by the hearing aid loop. To use it, you will need to make sure you book tickets in the right section of the relevant theatre. Please contact Ticketmaster (09) 970 9700 or the venue and request these seats specifically.
