🎭 Dick Whittington is coming to Leicester! 🎄✨

Join Dick and his trusty cat on a legendary journey to London, where the streets are reportedly paved with gold! Along the way, he’ll face Queen Rat and her growing army, meet the Fitzwarrens, and enjoy a Christmas adventure full of catchy songs, hilarious jokes, and panto fun for the whole family.

Accessible Performances:

✅ Relaxed Performance – Tue 30 Dec, 1pm
Ideal for anyone who may find panto overwhelming, including people with autism, learning disabilities, or additional sensory or communication needs. Lights are slightly brighter, loud or sudden noises are reduced, and you can take breaks in designated relaxing areas as needed.

✅ BSL Performance – Tue 30 Dec, 5pm
This performance features a British Sign Language interpreter on stage, helping Deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences enjoy the story, jokes, and songs. It’s a great opportunity for families, friends, and school groups to experience the panto together while supporting inclusive theatre.

🟣 It’s – a day to celebrate and improve accessibility!

At All-In Leicester, we are passionate about making arts, culture, and public spaces accessible for everyone. Our mission is simple: to ensure disabled people can enjoy experiences on equal terms, feel welcome, and have their voices heard.

Through our access reviews, we:
-Check venues for physical accessibility — entrances, signage, lighting, seating, toilets, and sensory-friendly spaces.
- Examine digital accessibility — websites, booking systems, and online resources.
- Look at visitor experience — staff awareness, communication, and inclusivity in how people are welcomed.
- Provide practical guidance and clear recommendations that venues can act on immediately.

Arts and culture venues can get involved in by:
- Making a meaningful commitment to improve accessibility this year.
- Booking an All-In Leicester access review to identify barriers and implement changes.
- Training staff to provide confident, inclusive visitor experience.
- Sharing your journey publicly to inspire other venues and celebrate progress.

Accessibility isn’t just a one-day effort — it’s about building inclusive experiences all year round. Together, we can make Leicester’s arts and culture scene truly open to everyone.
