We had a great day today at Dougie Mac Hospice. We spent time not only performing our last Sword in the Stone of 2026, but also creating some crafts based around the production itself.

Thank you for your hospitality and we look forward to seeing you again soon

The storm outside couldn't dampen our spirits!

We had an absolutely wonderful time meeting everyone at the Stoke and Staffordshire Down Syndrome Group yesterday!

We loved bringing The Sword in the Stone to Stoke, sharing laughter, creativity and a little bit of Camelot magic along the way!

The weather might have been stormy, but the warmth, smiles and enthusiasm made it feel like the sun was shining!

A huge thank you to everyone who welcomed us and joined in the fun.

A day full of confidence, connection and creativity!

Today, Actcessible visited the Stoke & Staffordshire Down’s Syndrome Social Group (SSDSSG), bringing The Sword in the Stone to some truly wonderful children and families! 🏰⚔️

But what made today especially meaningful was the feedback we received from parents.

Some told us how their children had felt comfortable enough to get involved, try new things and enjoy experiences alongside our performers.

And that is exactly why Actcessible exists.

Inclusive theatre is about so much more than putting on a show. It's about building confidence, encouraging communication, creating connections and giving everyone the opportunity to participate in their own way.

Today, our Re-U-Knighted Tour took us to Derby Children’s Hospital, where we brought a little theatrical magic to children, young people and families.

From performing The Sword in the Stone for those waiting for appointments to visiting children around the hospital, our aim was simple: to bring smiles, laughter and a little bit of happiness to what can sometimes be a difficult or worrying day.

For us at Actcessible, theatre is about so much more than putting on a show. It's about making connections, creating special moments and ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to experience the joy of live performance, whatever their circumstances.

In this video, our very own Merlin (Claire) shares a little about the visit and why bringing theatre into hospital settings means so much to us.

“I thought I was only the driver.”

Rob Henry expected to deliver our team and props to Portland College. Staying for the day gave him a different view: the preparation, laughter, thoughtful adjustments and conversations that make an Actcessible outreach visit special.

There were cheers, boos, woodland discoveries—and three young men with a lesson about facing your fears that Rob took home with him.

His new blog is a warm, funny look behind the scenes at inclusive theatre and what “Nobody left behind” means in practice.

We have done it!
Our target this first year was to work with 1,000 individuals ... And we have done it with over 2 months to spare.

BSL, touch tours, audio description, activities, workshops, life skills games ... And even more. We've been busy, but this is only the beginning.

Our work is so much more than learning lines or putting on a performance.

It's an opportunity to teach inclusive communication, rehearse everyday situations in SEN schools, build independence and develop confidence in a safe, creative environment.

And the wonderful thing? These experiences don't have to end when the workshop finishes.

The skills explored through drama can make a real difference in everyday life. 💜

A LITTLE DANCE, A LOT OF JOY!

Sometimes, the most magical moments don't happen on a stage!

Today, our Re-U-Knighted Tour took us to a Dementia Rest Home, where we shared music, movement, smiles and some wonderful dancing!

At Actcessible, we believe that the joy of performance and creativity should be for everyone, whatever their age or ability.

And sometimes, all it takes is a little music and someone to dance with to create a truly special moment.
