Every year Baboró identifies certain shows as suitable for designated special needs schools and groups.

Thank you for attending the 2022 Baboró festival with your students!

We recognise the cost and effort schools and teachers incur to bring their students to our festival. Our festival programme has dedicated performances for schools and groups with subsidised tickets for students and free teacher and SNA tickets.

Baboró has been supported by local businesses and individuals to help schools with transportation costs. With your booking confirmation you will receive details about how to claim back some of your bus hire costs after the festival. However, if you are concerned that bus hire costs may be a barrier to your attendance please contact the Schools Box Office now.
