The visual guide is the theatre's general guide to the building, not one for this panto. Ear defenders, fidgets and quiet sensory bags are available, and a breakout space is often offered (details come in pre-show emails). The phone and email are the box office, which the access page says to contact.
Access performances sell out first, so book early. Every relaxed panto in the UK · every signed and captioned one.
