About Bamboozle’s shows for autistic audiences:

These performances are intimate shows for a maximum group size of 6 children accompanied by their teachers, carers, or family members.

Keeping audiences small allows our experienced Bamboozle performers to give each child focused, personalised attention. Where there’s a need for 1:1 interaction with the young people, we will advise 4 young people attend.

We’re always happy to discuss the requirements for your young people and make reasonable adjustments when booking.

What you need to know:

Recommended age range: 6-14 years

Performances: We’re able to provide up to 3 – 4 performances throughout the day, each show for a maximum of 6 children.

Floor space required: 11m x 6m x 3m high minimum. Bamboozle’s requires exclusive use of the space for the duration of our visit.

Please note: The production features natural sensory materials including Children’s Play Sand, diluted essential basil oil (not applied directly to skin), cornflakes (vegan and gluten free), rubber wellington boots and hessian sacks. The production also features some loud percussive sounds, and a light sprinkling of water over the audience.
