Crowd levels will be kept to a minimum for this event. Ticket capacity is much lower than standard days and only ticket holders will be permitted entry during event time slots.
Where possible, we will adjust lighting and sound levels of The Winter Palace. Please note that this offer is immersive and sensory by nature and so it is not possible for us to alter this so suit individual needs. Please expect coloured lighting, projections and friendly character actors. Actors will have disability awareness training ahead of the event and will be aware of the audience attending and how to interact under those considerations.
We will not be asking for proof of disability or supporting documents for this event.
