All our activities include category icons, explained below, which will also be indicated in the printed programme next to each activity. They are intended as a quick reference to help you decide which bits of Into The Trees your family might enjoy the most, and we hope that they will be particularly useful for anyone who might have specific access needs.
If you have any feedback on how useful the icons are or how we could improve things in the future, we’d love to hear from you.
Outside
Activities or performances which take place wholly or mostly outside. So, there are no closed off areas and if it’s raining you’ll probably get a bit wet…
Inside
Activities or performances which take place wholly or mostly inside or under shelter of some kind. So you’ll be nice and dry if it rains, but it could feel crowded or claustrophobic at times.
Nice & Noisy
Sometimes loud or exciting and energetic – ok to add your own noise too 🙂
Calm & Quiet
These activities or performances might still involve music or talking, but they are generally more relaxing and quiet.
Get Involved
Participation is required – get stuck in and be part of the action!
Just Watch
Kick back, relax and watch the spectacle. No need to do anything other than enjoy the show.
Messy
Hands on, sensory, tactile and possibly a little messy or wet!
Take it Home
Take something home after the event – either a thing which you’ve made or a skill you’ve learnt.
Pre-booked
These activities needed to be pre-booked prior to the event.
Extra
Activities with extra fee required payable directly to the activity provider on the day or pre-booked.
A note on Programme times and changes
Please be aware that, though we try our best to stick to them, the advertised times of activities and performances can slip. Be prepared to be a little flexible…
The same goes for the programme content. The Info Tent will have a board displaying any last minute changes to the programme or timings.
