Relaxed Performance on Saturday 20th December at 2pm

Chequer Mead offers a ‘relaxed performance’ each year during our exciting pantomime run.  A relaxed performance is the same performance we always give, however, we adapt this particular show to suit people who might require a more relaxed environment when going to the theatre.  Usually, adults or children with learning difficulties, autism or sensory communication disorders benefit from this sort of show, but the performance is open to anyone.

During this special performance, we leave the houselights up, and reduce loud sudden noises and remove all flashing lights as well as pyrotechnics and other special effects that could cause some theatre-goers to be uncomfortable.  In scenes which could cause anxiety, such as the pantomime baddie being evil, we will tone these down and our cast will introduce themselves before the show commences.

Chequer Mead offer a ‘break-out’ room for the duration of the show, which our audience are welcome to come and go from if they need time to relax away from the auditorium.
