Autistic Spectrum and Sensory and Communication Difficulties

The theatre can often be a crowded and scary place to be for patrons on the Autistic Spectrum or with Sensory and Communication Difficulties. To help you prepare for your visit, we have a ‘Visual Story’ that we can send to you which describes your visit to the theatre in detail from the minute you step off the tube to you leaving the venue at the end of your visit. Please also let the Box office know if you would like an aisle seat or to be near an exit so should you need to leave the auditorium for any reason during the show, you can easily do so.

Did you also know that 70% of disabilities are not visible? If you think that you would benefit from the access services that we offer, please get in touch and we will do what we can to assist you.

Please contact the Access Champion to request the Visual Story.

Epilepsy or Seizures

Please note that loud noises, flashing lights, smoke effects and strobe lighting feature in the production. We do have a document outlining when these moments happen. Please let the Box Office know upon booking if you would like a copy.

The Apollo Victoria Theatre is directly opposite London Victoria train station.

The Apollo Victoria auditorium is equipped with Sennheiser MobileConnect WiFi sound amplification system. MobileConnect uses WiFi to deliver superior quality audio to a smart device such as an iPod or iPhone, either through headphones or via a necklace for hearing aid users. The sound levels can be adjusted on your device to suit your needs and our access host will be happy to assist you with this. Devices can be booked via the box office in advance, borrowed on the day, or alternatively patrons can download the Sennheiser MobileConnect app and use their own device.
Although we have devices to borrow, we do recommend that patrons download the app so as not to miss out if we run out. Patrons are advised to book Stalls A-P for the best signal.

We regularly schedule Audio Described performances, please check below for dates and times.
