A group of children with sight impairments will get to enjoy a whole new experience when much-loved show Disney On Ice comes to Newcastle in December.
A VIP invitation is going out to 10 youngsters and their families who will have the chance to visit behind the scenes of the popular ice extravaganza where they will meet its star figure skaters and learn more about the show through touch and hearing. And that will help add to their Disney experience when they take their seats for a performance.
The invitation results from social enterprise company North East Sight Matters joining forces with Disney On Ice which is to make a return to Utilita Arena for a December 7-11 run over the festive season. NESM works with visually impaired children, young people and their families to help improve their opportunities in life and that includes arranging accessible and safe environments so that they can try different experiences.
