Relaxed performances / Screenings
These events may be more suitable for audience members with sensory sensitivities, autism spectrum conditions and learning disabilities to enjoy the show.
If visiting a new venue feels overwhelming, or you have any accessibility concerns, we can arrange a pre-visit to the theatre so you can become familiar with the space before your visit. To organise this, please contact our friendly Box Office team on 01524 598500 or email tickets@dukeslancaster.org.
