Some children find certain things hard. Here is what is inside, what it sounds and feels like, and where to take a breather, so you can choose for yours.

What is inside
Sounds, spaces and crowds
Some theatre events are access-friendly or relaxed: house lights stay up, sound is lower, you can come and go, and there is a breakout room. Filter What's On by 'access-friendly' to find them.
