Venue Description

Little Angel Theatre is a home for puppetry. Since its doors first opened in 1961 the theatre has been dedicated to creating and sharing inspiring stories. Puppetry is at the heart of this innovative theatre, from igniting the imaginations of the youngest minds to equipping tomorrow’s puppeteers with the tools they need to succeed. As well as an internationally recognised theatre with productions touring throughout the UK and across the globe, Little Angel Theatre also has its roots in Islington, and works with its local, diverse community to break down barriers to arts engagement so all can benefit and enjoy this remarkable art form.

Accessibility

The Theatre is wheelchair accessible via a ramp in the entrance. Our foyer, Box Office, shop, toilets and auditorium space are all on the ground floor. The theatre auditorium seats 93 people and can accommodate 2 wheelchair users. Unfortunately our workshop is not wheelchair accessible. Doors to the theatre open 30 minutes prior to each performance start time. Outside of these times, from 10am-5pm weekdays / 4pm weekends, our Box Office is open but access may require pressing a buzzer located 1400mm from floor level. The dimensions of the disabled toilet are: 1.35m x 1.45m. Please contact us for more information about our Hearing Loop.

Accessible Performances

For each in-house production at the theatre, one performance is scheduled as a Relaxed Performance. Relaxed Performances are advertised in our season brochure and on our website. Relaxed Performances are provided for people who would benefit from a more relaxed environment, or are uncomfortable with sudden lighting changes or loud noises, including those with an Autistic Spectrum Condition, sensory or communication needs or a learning disability. During these performances we have fewer people in the audience and may adapt the show to lower the sound levels and keep the lighting at a higher level so that you are not sitting in darkness. We want to ensure that our tickets for Relaxed Performances are kept for those who need them, so they are not available to book online. To book tickets for a Relaxed Performance please call the Box Office on 020 7226 1787. If you would like more information about our Relaxed Performances, or would like to receive regular updates about when they are scheduled, please email education@littleangeltheatre.com

It would be helpful if you could let us know in advance of your visit if you would like us to do this. Please note that, other than designated wheelchair spaces, seating for our performances is unallocated. This is to ensure that everyone has a good view of the stage, especially the children.
