Visual Stories, the Britten Studio

For many people, attending a new venue or being in an unfamiliar environment can be daunting. We have created a Visual Story of images and text to help make coming to a performance at the Britten Studio feel less overwhelming.

Our Visual Stories are guides that are intended to help prepare visitors for a new experience and to make our performances as accessible as possible. They have been created for audience members attending one of our Relaxed Performances, but they are suitable for anyone who would benefit from a clear and accessible introduction to our venues.
