Ask for the visual story of the theatre and this show by emailing the access address; it is sent in advance rather than posted online. The relaxed show is a separate listing on ATG's site. The theatre has no lift, so wheelchair spaces are in the stalls, reached by a cobbled sloping entrance on King Street. The venue says some shows use strobe, smoke, pyrotechnics and loud bangs but gives no list for this panto. The phone number is ATG's Accessibility Assistance line (Monday to Saturday, 9am to 6pm).
Access performances sell out first, so book early. Every relaxed panto in the UK · every signed and captioned one.
