Accessible club night at Wycombe Swan is coming this month
An accessible nightclub-style event is coming to Wycombe Swan Theatre later this month.
The venue has announced its S.E.N.D Nightclub Experience will take place on April 28 from 6pm to 8pm for over-18s.
The event is designed for people with learning disabilities and additional needs, offering a club atmosphere that is not too loud or overwhelming.
It will feature music, dancing and a DJ-led session in a safe and supportive environment.
The theatre said the event has been made possible thanks to funding support from Bluebird Care.
