The Forum was the first theatre in Ireland to hold a Relaxed Performance of its Pantomime in 2013 followed by a dementia friendly performance in 2015. Since then, the theatre has won numerous awards for its excellence in providing accessibility, the most recent being awarded Makaton Friendly status. The Forum is the first theatre in Ireland to be given this status. Throughout the past 21 years, the Forum has developed strong networks via its Education & Outreach events.
