Christmas at the Royal Albert Hall

The relaxed performance.

I love it when they make performances accessible for all. They keep the lights up slightly, reduce volume slightly, provide BSL signing, safe spaces outside the auditorium, visual picture prompts to "take your seats". Even the electric hand driers in the toilets were switched off and paper towels provided to make the whole experience better for those who find noises and lights overwhelming.

The show today was amazing. I think partly because parents and carers of those with SEN are so used to having to join in and make all occasions interesting and fun for their kids that it comes naturally.

We will definitely go again next year.
