We’ve not currently had any requests for audio description (as of 24 hours pre show). Due to unforeseen circumstances we won't be able to provide turn-up-and-go AD for 12th Feb show. We can still provide AD on request for any of our upcoming shows in 2026. We’ll be doing a bit more outreach too, to spread the word that it’s available!)
The event will be mostly standing with some general seating on the balconies and some ground floor access seating. If you need to reserve a seat or wheelchair space: Access seating form
Visual guides with video, + other access stuff, will be added to the NDK Linktree.

All you need to write in the email is your name and booking reference, and your PA's name. Then we can add them to the access guestlist.

About
Why NDK?
‘ND’ or 'Neurodivergent', because it's a night run by an ND team. We aim for better access and inclusion for the audience and performers, at an event we'd actually want to bring our mates to. 'Karneval' is a colourful in-between world where normal social rules are lifted and a new set of rules apply.
This is a space where neurodivergence is the norm and celebrated. Dance however you want, or don't. Allies and friends welcomed with open arms. Just don't make us do small talk!
Partners
Our drag and short acts are sourced through emerging performers' networks including Above Your Nerve theatre company.
We proudly present musician RightKeysOnly @rightkeysonly in partnership with UnMute, roster of talent run through Global Local.
We are funded by Arts Council England's National Lottery Project Grants.
