An accessible circus show will be coming to the Vale of Glamorgan.
Circus Starr will be performing at The Memo Arts Centre on Monday, September 16.
The shows will be held at 4.45pm and 7pm.
The not-for-profit organisation was the first circus to welcome an interpreter to their events, and have now decided to roll this service out throughout their whole autumn tour.
Providing a BSL signer means that deaf audience members will be involved in all aspects of the performance, so that they won’t miss a thing.
Circus Starr are passionate about sharing their magical art form with those who usually miss out through no fault of their own.
Their events are held especially for children who are disabled, have additional learning needs, or are disadvantaged.
Unlike a commercial circus, the circus adapts its event to suit its unique audience by lowering the volume, toning down the lights, providing sensory packs, and offering free tickets.
Their operation is only possible thanks to donations from community-driven businesses in the area.
Fundraising director Michelle Crossley is looking forward to the autumn tour.
She said: "We love sharing our fun events with those who usually miss out.
"Whilst our show is very visual, it is important to us that those who are deaf can enjoy the performance in its entirety, and we are proud to have the interpreters at each of our shows to help make that possible.
"Thank you so much to the kind businesses who help us continue our valuable work."
