Accessability

The Alfie Atkins Cultural Centre has the vision to be a leading children’s cultural centre where ALL children feel they belong. We aim to offer vibrant theatre productions and programme activities that children of all abilities can take part in. This encourages interaction and exchange between children of different abilities. Ultimately, the activities provide a common ground that helps children see beyond functional abilities. The building has a lift so you can visit the two floors, and of course we have accessible toilets. There is a children’s wheelchair inside the building entrance which visitors can borrow during their visit. On the upper floor, Alfie Atkins films are shown on TV with sign language. The theatre is equipped with a hearing loop. We regularly have performances with mime or sign language to make our activities more accessible.
