Schoolchildren watching a string quartet playing a concert on a stage

Equity, diversity and inclusion are at the forefront of everything we do at Musinc. Our events and activities programme is designed to be inclusive and accessible for everyone. Our team of staff and facilitators are experienced in working with young people with SEND, poor mental health and families facing challenging circumstances, and tailor their work to meet the needs of the people in the room. If you have any queries about your own or your young person’s ability to access an activity or event, please get in touch to discuss your needs.

Accessing a Musinc event

At all Musinc events you can expect:

  • There to be lower volume levels throughout the event, tailored to the activity and its audience
  • Our event spaces will have consistent lighting, with low level auditorium lights on throughout concerts. We won’t plunge you into darkness, and there’ll be no strobe effects
  • Our musicians and facilitators will have relaxed attitude to young people making noise and moving around the space, and will adapt activities for participants with additional needs
  • A quiet, chill out space will be available should you need a break at any point
  • Free drinking water will be available
  • Ear Defenders: Our younger visitors can find a busy venue and loud musical activities quite overwhelming. A number of ear defenders are available to use and can be collected from the Box Office – by the main entrance on Albert Street. They are limited, so come and see us as early as possible to secure a pair.

Accessing a Middlesbrough Town Hall event

At Middlesbrough Town Hall you can also expect:

  • Comfortable seats available throughout the venue
  • Parents welcome to breastfeed or bottle-feed anywhere in Middlesbrough Town Hall

Please be aware that due to Middlesbrough Town Hall’s fire regulation policies pushchairs, prams & car seats must be left in our dedicated ‘buggy parking’ zone on the carriageway and cannot be taken into any of the event spaces. Unfortunately, we cannot take responsibility for items left there, but we do our best to keep an eye on them.
