Question 1

When and where does the walk begin?

Accepted Answer

The walk begins at the wishing well outside the Albion Hotel in Freshwater Bay at 10.30am on Sunday 17 May.

Question 2

How long is the walk?

Accepted Answer

The walk will last for around one hour, ending at Dimbola Lodge where people are welcome to then look around at the collection and/or visit the cafe.

Question 3

How accessible is the walk?

Accepted Answer

The walk is mainly on flat surfaces, with a few steps at the church and Dimbola Lodge. There is no pavement during one section, but the Marshals will be on hand to guide people and ensure safety.

Question 4

Do I need to bring my own headphones for the audio experience?

Accepted Answer

We provide a lightweight receiver and a single-ear hook headphone for every guest. However, if you have a favourite pair of wired headphones (with a standard 3.5mm jack), you are more than welcome to bring and use those for your own comfort!
Note: Wireless Bluetooth headphones are not compatible.

Question 5

How does the audio system work?

Accepted Answer

It’s very simple! Upon arrival, our team will hand you a small device (about the size of a matchbox) on a lanyard. You’ll hear the performance and soundscape directly through the earpiece. Our staff will be on hand to help you adjust the volume before the performance begins.

Question 6

I wear hearing aids. Can I still participate?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The receivers have a standard headphone jack. If your hearing aid has a "Direct Audio Input" or if you use a neck loop/telecoil bridge with a 3.5mm plug, you can plug directly into our system. Please feel free to speak with our Front of House team upon arrival so we can ensure you’re set up.

Question 7

Is the equipment sanitized?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. All earpieces and receivers are thoroughly sanitized with medical-grade wipes after every single performance.

Question 8

What happens if I lose or damage the device?

Accepted Answer

We ask that you keep the device on its lanyard at all times during the promenade. As these are essential pieces of kit for our independent production, we kindly ask for your care in handling them.

Question 9

Can I opt out of using the headset?

Accepted Answer

Because this is a promenade performance through a town, the headset is essential to hear the actor and the soundscape. Without it, you may miss significant portions of the story!
