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.

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.
