Hearing Theatre Guide

Details of any “Access Rates” can be found for each venue listed; these are the discounts made available for those who require assistance to access the theatre or have specific accessibility requirements and, in many cases, this includes those with a hearing loss.

For most of these theatres, to use their assistive hearing technology you will require a “Loop Programme”. Contact us on 020 7486 1053 to arrange an appointment with an audiologist to organise this or discuss alternative options.

Auracast™ is a Bluetooth LE Audio feature that allows venues to broadcast high-quality, low-latency audio directly to an unlimited number of compatible devices, including hearing aids, headphones, and earbuds. Unlike traditional assistive listening systems, it works as a true broadcast signal - similar to FM radio - so users can instantly connect to a venue’s audio without pairing, simply by joining the broadcast via their phone or an app.

Generally, all venues welcome assistance/hearing dogs and recommend that you request an aisle seat when booking. Many venues also advise their staff are happy to dog-sit during the performance.

Obtaining an Access Card may make the booking process easier at many of these venues. The card serves as a photo ID that clearly communicates your access requirements at events and venues, enabling them to provide the appropriate accessibility support. It also integrates with online platforms, such as ticketing systems, to unlock the access facilities you need. You can find more information by clicking the button below.
