On Friday 15th we will have increased access provisions for d/Deaf and hard of hearing people with BSL interpretation available, and for both performances we will have access hosts who will have noise cancelling headphones, easy read guides, etc.

Tickets for this event are very cheap at a price of just £5 (cheaper than standard admission to the Botanical Gardens), so do please consider a £10 ‘Pay it Forward Ticket’ which buys a ticket for yourself, and also buys a ticket for someone else to attend.
