On the day of the event, we recommend to ensure you arrive at the venue around 20 minutes before the start of the performance to allow time for us to show you to your seats and also to purchase any drinks or snacks that you wish from the kiosk.
We are working to start confirming places shortly. Please note the vast majority of our events are not first come, first served, in the interests of fairness. Once events are processed, we always provide an email update to let you know whether you have confirmed places or are on the waiting list.

We always contact every request once the event is processed and allocated, providing families with as much notice as possible. We initially confirm places and advise those on the waiting list by text message from our platform. We also issue a QR code to confirm places (which is how you sign in with us on the day on our iPad platform) around 24-48 hours before the event/session. Please ensure you read the information below on our notifications and recommendations.

Non-Payment & Non-Cancellation
We totally appreciate that plans can change, health can change, emergencies can happen, and life can get in the way when you least expect it to, especially as parents, carers and guardians of children with additional needs, but we cannot emphasise enough how important it is to stay in touch with the team when it comes to bookings.
We understand that such things can happen and that they can definitely be hard to talk about at times, we always try to help the families we support as much as we can. Sometimes, this sadly just won’t be possible, but we will certainly try if there is a path to do so. All we ask is that you stay in touch and just be honest with us, it is so much easier to help you this way.
Please do bear in mind that non-payment of invoices or not communicating with us about items, tickets etc we have purchased for you in a timely manner will have adverse impact across the board. As a small childrens charity we have to be incredibly careful with funds and items not being paid for has huge impact on us and will simply prevent future events from happening, as we are not able to absorb losses of that nature.
We leave payments for all events and sessions open as long as possible to help families, but at the same time, we have commitments and deadlines to the venues we work with, which we must adhere to, or lose such opportunities.
Please remember that the following steps can occur if you don’t pay invoices or inform us.
- Any invoice/payment outstanding at the deadline is at risk of cancellation and impacting you
- You can see your places cancelled for the event/session, and a cancellation notice will be sent to you.
- You will no longer be able to access ANY of our events, sessions or the Max Card
- Your membership with us can be suspended or permanently revoked
- Spectrum reserves the right to pass outstanding invoices for commercial/legal collection, and additional charges can occur
- Additionally, Spectrum has a zero tolerance for any kind of behaviour/communication that is deemed to be rude/abusive – our team are also parents of children with additional needs and volunteer their time.
Please Stay in Touch!
As always if you have any questions about any aspect of of our events, the payment process, or cancellations email us at events@spectrum.org.uk and we will be happy to see where we can help!
