Relaxed & Dementia Friendly

A Relaxed and/or Dementia Friendly performance is one that has been carefully adjusted to reduce anxiety or stress for those who might otherwise find the experience unsettling or difficult. For example, changes are made to sound and lighting to eliminate surprise and soften their impact. There is a relaxed attitude to noise and moving around in the auditorium during the performance. These performances may be suitable for audiences with autism, sensory and communication needs, learning and/or physical disabilities, mental health conditions or people living with dementia.

Our Bradbury Platform is installed for these performances, increasing our wheelchair user accessible spaces up to 12.

We are working towards being a Dementia Friendly venue and staff members are Dementia Friends.
