What can I expect when I arrive?
Upon arrival at the Howard Opera Centre you will be welcomed at reception by Emily Moss, Family Programme Manager, and on the first week your ticket will be checked. You will then be directed through a door next to the entrance that leads to our dedicated Education space, the Bramall Studio. In this area there is a side room for parking a buggy, a small sink and fridge area and dedicated toilets.
What facilities are there for my child?
Howard Opera Centre offers step free access to the building. The workshop and buggy parking are within a restricted-access area of the building.

If at any point a quieter space and chair is required then there is a small Education office room opposite the workshop.
