Established since 2023, the idea for Matinee Mouse originated from one mission: to promote accessible and affordable cultural experiences, wherever culture can be found.
More About Us
Run by a team of freelancers on a voluntary basis, the platform has been launched as a voice for accessible and affordable theatre. We approach the arts from both neurotypical and neurodivergent perspectives, with an aim to help people with various access needs experience theatre with confidence.
We are particularly passionate about accessibility for both audiences and theatre makers, including accessible facilities, performance provisions and more. We run focused coverage on Relaxed Performances and partner with organisations and charities to promote their arts outreach provisions for families with Special Education Needs and Disabilities, as well as marginalised communities.
Our Reach
We are active on our website and across Instagram, TikTok and X (formerly known as Twitter.)
Based in the United Kingdom, we have a strong digital presence across our social platforms, reaching upwards of 119K accounts in a 30-day period (as of November 2024). As content creators focusing on quality, we work with a selected number of events, organisers and marketing and communications professionals on creative, tailored campaigns.
Why read our content?
Matinee Mouse, like a lot of other theatre reviewers, started out as a passion project, as a way to share our love of theatre and the arts to others.
But not many reviews include a consistent, specific focus on accessibility of mainstream performances - and we're here to do just that.
Every review on our platform includes a section titled “Tickets and Accessibility". Here, any available ticket offers we think you'll like is listed, as well as any details of content and technical trigger warnings recorded from first-hand experience so that those who require them can better prepare for their upcoming visit.
We hope you'll benefit from reading about these stagey events as much as we enjoy writing them!
