nldcs

Date: Friday 28th September 2018
Time: 7.30pm (show ends about 10pm)
Venue: Prince Edward Theatre, Old Compton St, London W1D 4HS
Age: 6+

Disney’s Aladdin is being brought to life in the West End, and we’re delighted to have secured a limited number of tickets for a captioned performance at the end of September. They’re in the dress circle and normally cost £85 per person, but for this show they’re available at a special price of £37.50 for each deaf child and each carer. NLDCS is paying for deaf children’s tickets, so we’re only asking carers to pay for theirs. One carer (aged 18+) is allocated per deaf child, and additional family members will have to pay the full price of £85.

Tickets are being offered to NLDCS members only and if the event is over-subscribed, they will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, with deaf children and carers given priority.

Unfortunately time is very tight on this and we need to pay for the tickets on Monday 9th July to avoid losing them.

To book please email northlondon@ndcsgroup.org.uk ASAP putting ‘Aladdin’ in the subject box and request a booking form. Booking must be done by post.

PLEASE NOTE THAT FORMS AND CHEQUES MUST ARRIVE BY 9th JULY AT THE VERY LATEST AS PLACES CAN’T BE HELD. THERE IS NO LEEWAY ON THIS.

Tickets will be distributed on the night so we anticipate meeting at the theatre around 7pm. Details to follow nearer the time.

We’re asking for £10 deposit per child, which will be refunded on the day. Make sure you turn up to get your deposit back!
