Tha ks Little Hiccups for sharing

Made with Music are hosting an accessible, family friendly Mini-Gig on Sunday 28th June, 12-3pm at the Brudenell Social Club (LS6 1NY). It is an afternoon of live music with real bands in a real gig venue. Made with Music prides itself on being inclusive and accessible and want more families to be able to attend live music events.

Here are some of the things they do to make their gigs accessible:
- Changing places trailer at each event (an accessible toilet with changing bench, hoist and attendant)
- Pre-information available including a photo guide
- Access to the space before the event to check it out
- Clear signage around the building
- Strict timings which are available before the event
- Level access, suitable for wheelchairs
- Variety of seating available (benches, mats, chairs, beanbags)
- Black out tent if you need to dampen all other senses but still want to listen to the music
- Ear defenders available to borrow
- Friendly staff around the room to answer any questions you have

We keep some tickets back for families who can’t decide until the day
Offer a "Pay if you stay" ticket on the door if you want to try the gig but for any reason you or your young person can’t stay for the whole thing.
If there is anything they can do to help you more specifically, please do get in touch on [email protected] or find them on social media.

If the event is shown as sold out, get in touch with them as they have a handful of tickets available on the door for families with additional access needs so please email if you would like, and cannot get, tickets.

The home to school transport guidance for pupils of compulsory school age has been updated to make clear that if a pupil is eligible for what is now called ‘targeted free school meals’, they may be eligible for free home to school transport.

Although the law hasn't changed, we have updated the guidance on our website: https://www.ipsea.org.uk/children-of-compulsory-school-age-aged-5-to-16
