Relaxed Performances

Visual Stories
A visual story acts as a guide for anyone who feels worried or anxious ahead of their visit and explains what to expect when you visit the theatre. Each venue's Visual Story is a visual resource to help prepare visitors for a new experience and to help them become familiar with new surroundings and what to expect.
Please Submit a Request and select 'Access Enquiry Form' to request the Visual Story.
ATG has also collaborated with Widgit Software to create a selection of symbol resources to support pantomime audiences. These symbol stories can be a great way to introduce children to the theatre, helping them prepare for their trip and follow the show. Please see our Symbol Resources page for resources.
