Ensuring that the show is accessible to all is a big priority for us. We work closely with our partners to make sure that all of our visitors are looked after.

We welcome carers for visitors with additional needs.

Hearing support

Hearing loops are built into our stage and theatre areas. Please contact us at thephotographyshow@futurenet.com if you would like to request a BSL interpreter (at least two weeks before the show).

Noise / Our quiet room

The hall can get noisy at times. We advise anyone who struggles with ambient noise and / or frequently uses noise reducing devices, including earplugs, to bring them along, just in case. We will have a quiet room available for anyone who needs some time out. Please visit the Organiser's Office (entrance to the show) for support if you need it or tell a member of staff on the show floor if you'd like assistance.
