Our founders knew, from personal experience, the life-changing effect that captions and live subtitles can have. For people who are deaf, deafened or hard of hearing, they can unlock the beauty of theatre and the arts, so that families and friends can enjoy the full experience together.

Captioning Awareness Week is our annual celebration of the great work that theatres, museums and galleries are doing across the country to make the arts a more welcoming and accessible place.

This year’s campaign will run from 15 to 21 November. Use the links below to get involved and show your support for captioning across the country.

How you can enjoy Captioning Awareness Week

Head to a captioned or subtitled performance, watch events online with our friends at Scenesaver, and show your support online with our social media accounts.

How your venue can show support

Our new toolkit will help theatres, museums, galleries, or arts venues get the most out the week. We have all our logos, social media images, suggested posts, and many other ways venues can show their support.
