Baboro Arts Festival Relaxed Programme

The Relaxed Programme features performances specifically for parents or teachers who may have concerns about bringing their child/children to a public event. Baboro aim is to provide a comfortable and relaxed space for children to enjoy the show, and in turn provide a stress-free environment for parents.

What is a Relaxed Performance? These performances are presented in a supportive atmosphere and reduce any discomfort or anxiety children or parents may have surrounding the theatre experience. Children, parents, teachers and carers can enjoy the experience knowing that:

  • The performances selected have visual delights or music and usually include humour.
  • If children are uncomfortable and need a break, they can go out and return when they are ready.
  • If children require snacks to be available to eat, they will be allowed to do so. We do ask that the snacks are not wrapped in noisy paper.
  • It is not essential that the children are absolutely silent throughout the performance.
  • These performances are open to everyone.
