Digital Hearing Aid Enhancement in the Theatres 
In order to enhance the sound in our theatres through a digital hearing aid, an infra-red Sennheiser system is in operation in all three theatre spaces. Sennheiser necklace or headset receivers are required to use this system and are available from the Information Desk or programme sales point at the theatre. The hearing aid must already be pre-programmed by the supplier to work with the necklace receiver. If the digital hearing aid has been supplied by the NHS it will already have been pre-programmed. However, if it is from a private supplier, it will need to be checked with them to find out if it has been programmed to operate with an infra-red Sennheiser system and switching the hearing aid to the ‘T’ position. 
The infra-red Sennheiser system works regardless of whether actors wear a microphone or not. 
Performance considerations for Disabled patrons 
All of Regal Entertainments Ltd productions offer at least one signed and one audio described performance for sight and audio impaired patrons respectively.

Following in the innovative work by the Royal National Theatre and the society of London Theatre, Regal Entertainments Ltd family pantomimes also offer a relaxed performance for each production. A relaxed performance is about welcoming children with special needs (including Autistic Spectrum Conditions and/or learning disabilities) and, crucially, their families to the theatre to a performance where those needs are accounted for with a more relaxed atmosphere and some changes to the production itself if necessary eg: lowering of lights or sound at certain points of the show.
