Get ready for a feline-good adventure paved with gold this Christmas, as our traditional family pantomime returns with Dick Whittington - Relaxed Performance.

What is a relaxed performance?

Our relaxed performance is perfect for anyone who might find the usual theatre environment a little overwhelming. This includes people with sensory, communication and learning sensitivities, or anyone who would feel more at ease in a less formal theatre environment.

You can expect the same West End quality production – with a few thoughtful adjustments to ensure everyone can enjoy the magic.

During the performance our auditorium lights will remain at 50%, so you are welcome to move around, make noise, or come and go as needed.

We will begin with a friendly introduction explaining any special effects. Plus, we can provide access information with a social story ahead of your visit, so that everyone feels prepared.

Join us and enjoy all the joy, laughter and sparkle of our spectacular pantomime — in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
