Facilities for people with visual impairments

For people who have difficulty seeing the stage, all shows produced by The Dukes have an audio described performance and a pre-show touch tour of the set. 

An audio description provides a live commentary (pre-recorded for The Dukes park show) of all the visual aspects of the production via a personal receiver provided by The Dukes. The professional audio describer will set the scene, describe the costumes and props and describe the actors’ movements and facial expressions as they happen. This is done in such a way as to ensure you will hear as much of the dialogue as possible.

Current Audio Described performances include:

Robin Hood: pre-recorded Audio description will be available from (date to be confirmed)

Cinderella: date TBC

Touch Tours are available before our audio described performance to enable people with visual impairments to feel their way around the set, costumes and props to get a better understanding of the show. 

Please let the Box Office know if you would like to use the service when you book. 

Guide dogs are welcome and fresh drinking water is always available on request.
