| At the relaxed show | The cast and characters are introduced and special effects explained first, loud or sudden sounds are reduced, the lights stay low rather than fully dark, and you can make noise, move about or leave. |
| Visual story | Not published by the theatre |
| Carer tickets | You and one carer can buy tickets at the lowest price on sale for that performance; the reduced carer ticket needs you to join the theatre's free Access Requirement Register first. |
| Sensory warnings | Not published by the theatre |

Ear defenders and booster cushions can be borrowed free. Tell the box office about access needs at least 24 hours before you come; many seats are reached by stairs, but there is a lift to wheelchair spaces, which sit next to a companion seat.

Access performances sell out first, so book early. [Every relaxed panto in the UK](https://bestpantomimes.co.uk/relaxed-performances/) · [every signed and captioned one](https://bestpantomimes.co.uk/signed-performances/).
