General accessible information

 

Redbridge Outdoor Arts brings FREE, high quality outdoor arts performances to public spaces in and around our Libraries for everyone to enjoy! You do not need a ticket for our shows, just come along at the advertised time.

We are committed to making our shows accessible to everybody and are working towards a bronze award in the Attitude is Everything Live Events Charter.

Our team is committed to upholding the values of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, celebrating our diverse local communities, challenging discriminatory behaviour and empowering voices of marginalised and hard to reach groups.
