The Sensory Access programme has been designed for young people with autism, and those with learning disabilities - including those with moderate to severe learning difficulties, and multiple and complex learning difficulties.

Our Sensory Experiences take groups on a fun adventure with Ally & the Soundwaves - a band on the hunt to find their missing sounds! Sensory Experiences include sensory stories, original songs, lighting and sound effects and sensory materials for families and school groups to experience.
The sessions take place in our Elgar room and last for around one hour.

Sensory Experiences are similar to an interactive theatre show involving storytelling, live song and sensory resources.

There are 4 main performers, a director and a stage manager. The team is supported by the Royal Albert Hall technical staff and produced by the RAH Engagement team.

There will be a training session with the Engagement team in which you will receive guidance on best practice when engaging with young people with SEND.

There will also be three rehearsal days when you will be integrated into the show.
