    I have experience of challenges around: hearing and understanding.

    Good

    I liked the location, the tent was a fabulous set up. It was a nice big space. It had plenty of space to manoeuvre and lots of space for people to dance along! I can't think of anything bad to say about it, other than the tables were a bit too small. I liked the show itself but I felt like the audience made the show by singing along and dancing. I didn't find lip-syncing that interesting, when I go to a show I want to hear people sing. But they were still fun to watch. I thought they could've engaged with the audience a wee bit more too which would've made it funnier and more engaging.

    Quite good, lots of space. I didn't see any accessible toilets. If there were accessible toilets they weren't well-signposted. Everything was flat. I could see everything I wanted to see at the performance. I think there were seats just outside the tent where people could rest. No alternative formats.

    Excellent

    I walked there. I didn't see any car parks nearby. I think the nearest car park to the venue would be Castle Terrace Car Park which is just across the road from the venue, just 2-3 minutes across the road. Plenty of bus stops nearby too.

    The staff were friendly. They were quick and sharp and helped us get us to our seats okay. Very good.
