Relaxed performances offer slight alterations to an event or show to make it more accessible. Relaxed sessions will vary depending on the nature of the event throughout the Bradford 2025 programme. We want to offer relaxed performances for as many events and performances as possible.

This is what we mean when we talk about a relaxed performance:

• Increased lighting in the auditorium
• Quieter sound levels
• Removal of unexpected loud noises
• Removal of strobe lighting
• Freedom to move in and out of the audience area
• A relaxed attitude to noise (both voluntary and involuntary)
• A chillout space close to the auditorium, with a monitor showing the performance so you don’t miss anything

It might not be possible to offer all these for every relaxed performance, but we will include information about each of our relaxed performances on the event pages on this website.

This is the Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture website. We want to make sure this website is as accessible as possible – for everyone.
