Social Stories for The Courtyard

The Courtyard Hereford regularly hosts Relaxed Performances, Relaxed Screenings and Inclusive Workshops. Relaxed events are open to everyone but may benefit individuals with autism spectrum conditions, learning difficulties or sensory and communication difficulties. Or those who may benefit from a more relaxed environment. We create specific social stories for these relaxed events but we also have generic social stories for other visits to our venue.

A social story is a visual resource for anyone with an Autism Spectrum Condition, or any other neurodiversity, and would benefit from understanding their visit to the theatre or cinema beforehand. This resource is intended to help prepare any visitors for a new experience and to help them to become familiar with the surroundings. Find out more about Social Stories here.

Here’s a video social story for your visit to a Live Show or Cinema Screening at The Courtyard Hereford:
