Autism Friendly Waterford Supports Sensory-Friendly Cinderella Performance

Autism Friendly Waterford were delighted to support the sensory-friendly relaxed performance of Cinderella at Theatre Royal Waterford, presented by the Waterford Panto Society.

It was a wonderful evening and a fantastic way to celebrate the society’s 40th birthday with such a special opening night. The relaxed performance created a more comfortable and welcoming environment for autistic children, young people and their families, allowing everyone to enjoy the magic of the panto at their own pace.

We were delighted to be part of such an inclusive event and to support another great example of accessibility and community inclusion in Waterford.
