The term "relaxed" refers to having a relaxed attitude to some of the more formal aspects of traditional performance; this could relate to aspects of the production or to a person's experience within the venue. We do this to create an atmosphere and environment that is inclusive and welcoming for people who may otherwise experience barriers when attending live performance.

The 2026 Family Concert is intended for families with young children aged 7–11, but people who will benefit from a relaxed environment are also welcome to attend.  

Features of this relaxed performance:  

• Audiences can speak or make noise throughout the concert  
• Audiences can move around, leave and return to the auditorium as much as they like  
• House lights will remain on low throughout the performance  
• A host will introduce the different pieces  
• There is a sensory room available
• Please be aware that if you experience overwhelm in crowded environments, there will not be reduced audience capacity at this event
