Tara Theatre aims to be as accessible as possible in everything we do. The whole building is fully accessible.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss any access requirements please email info@taratheatre.com or call us on 020 8333 4457.
We programme a range of assisted and relaxed performances throughout the year, including audio described, captioned and British Sign Language interpreted.

Audio Description
Audio Description provides information about the visual elements of a production. The description is delivered live, in between dialogue, through small headsets.
Touch tours can also be offered before each Audio Described performance enabling the audience to explore the stage and get a feel of the set and costumes before the play starts.
Captioned Performances
A caption unit displays the performers’ words and provides information such as music and sound effects, in a similar way to subtitles on television. Captions may also be useful for audience members who are deaf or hard of hearing or who speak English as a second language.
British Sign Language
During a British Sign Language (BSL) Interpreted performance an interpreter stands at the side of the stage, clearly visible to the audience, and interprets the spoken word and sound effects for Deaf audience members who use BSL.
If the particular show you are attending is marked as BSL Interpreted performance, please let the Box Office you are booking to use the interpreter and they will seat you appropriately.
Relaxed Performances
It is our aim that all our performances and events are inclusive, allowing for movement in the auditorium and re-entry if needed wherever possible.
We also schedule dedicated relaxed performances for our audience members who would prefer a more relaxed performance environment, including those with an autism spectrum condition or learning disability. These performances allow for noise and movement in the auditorium, a chill-out space for audiences members who may need time away and re-entry when needed.
Facilities
Our building is fully accessible with step free access throughout. We have two performance spaces. Our main auditorium is on the ground floor. Our studio is on the first floor and is accessible via the passenger lift.
Our accessible toilet is located on the basement level and is accessible via the passenger lift.
If you require any assistance during your visit to Tara Theatre please speak to a member of our Welcome Team.
