What is this place?
artsdepot is a multi-artform arts centre at Tally Ho Corner in North Finchley, with two theatres, a gallery and studios. It programmes relaxed performances for selected shows — including a Relaxed performance of the family dance show ‘Club Origami’ on Sunday 25 October 2026 at 2:30pm (the 11:30am showing that day is a standard performance). Relaxed performances are open to everyone but are designed to suit people with sensory, communication or learning disabilities, and anyone who would benefit from a less formal environment; these adjustments apply to the relaxed performance only, not every show. The building is step-free throughout with multiple lifts, has accessible toilets on levels 2 and 3 and a Changing Places toilet (with a bench and hoist) on level 2 (RADAR key from the Duty Manager), and offers a complimentary carer/personal-assistant ticket for most performances. artsdepot is a Dementia Friendly accredited venue, and both theatres have infrared hearing-loop systems. Please note the car-park lift to the ground floor is temporarily out of order — use the adjacent Aldi car-park lift or the disabled drop-off area outside the building. Dates, programmes and prices change — check the current listing before booking.
