Autism
Delfont Mackintosh Theatres knows that communication is KEY.
We want all our patrons to have a good experience while in our theatres, so we now have a visual tool for parents and carers to use with children and adults on the autistic spectrum and/or with learning difficulties.
We have been researching the benefits of using social stories and would like to offer a social story for a visit to Sondheim Theatre (formerly Queen's Theatre). We know that people with autism find social situations difficult and understand that we are all unique.
You can view the social story for Sondheim Theatre (formerly Queen's Theatre) by clicking the main theatre image above, or download the Sondheim Theatre social story in PDF format.
Our theatres sell products which may contain allergens. Allergen information is available upon request from all bars or other staff selling refreshments around the venue.
