Tuesday 29 December 2026, 1:00pm
A dated relaxed performance of ‘Stick Man’ — check the current programme before booking; don't rely on a past date.
A welcoming, judgment-free environment for people with sensory sensitivities and other access needs: audience members may leave and re-enter, the house lights may be raised slightly, and sound and other production effects are generally reduced (the show is already fairly low-tech, so the change may not be substantial). A young children's show (all ages; under-18s must be accompanied).
Booking: Book online or contact the theatre for help booking. A free Essential Companion ticket is available to eligible visitors; for a family show it is an ADDITIONAL adult (the parent/adult accompanying the child still needs their own ticket, as children can't attend without an adult) — not an automatic extra ticket for every family.
Venue website · checked 2026-08-23Sound and other production effects are generally reduced for relaxed performances; note ‘Stick Man’ is already a relatively low-tech production, so the change may not be substantial.

“Not confirmed” means we couldn't verify that detail from the sources we checked — not that it's unavailable. Where a source confirms something is genuinely absent, we show it as a clear ✕. If a specific need matters for your visit, please contact the venue to check. Parent-reported experiences (added later) will always be shown separately from verified venue information.
