Relaxed Performances

At our relaxed performances, the environment supports and accepts noise and movement within the auditorium, there is access to a chill-out space outside of the auditorium, and re-entry as and when needed. The house lights and sound levels may also be adjusted throughout the production.

Nutcracker is a magical Christmas tradition for all, in a brand-new production for this festive season. English National Ballet bring this Christmas classic to life with over 100 dancers and musicians. This performance of Nutcracker will be in a Relaxed Environment.

A first introduction to the magical world of ballet, our production of My First Ballet: Swan Lake is a specially adapted version for children aged three upwards. In our relaxed performance we also provide a Visual Story so people can familiarise themselves with the theatre and key details about the show in advance with additional resources available.
