SPLASH!
A relaxed performance
Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight, and hurt not
Sunday 6 September 2026

This morning concert will be a mash-up of magical scenes from The Tempest, vocal and instrumental music about water, and surround sound recordings curated by triple-BAFTA-award-winning sound recordist Chris Watson. Under a big-top circus tent, come and set sail to a theatrical world of water, with singers, players, actors, and all sorts of sounds coming from our immersive surround-sound speaker system. There might even be a blue whale!
Specially curated for a more ‘relaxed’ experience. Everyone is welcome to attend, including families with babies or very young children and those with learning disabilities, neurological conditions or movement disorders. Featuring BSL interpretation.
Grounds will be open 10.30am – 1.30pm
The main (interactive) show will start at 11.30am.
Running time will be c.1 hour, to include a short interval.
