Upcoming Outings
Eye Matter outings meet at a London station, where you will be met by a guide if you haven’t brought your own, and taken to the venue. You will be guided back to the station after the event and handed over to station staff as necessary for further assistance.
We do theatre, museums, music venues, comedy and sporting activities and are always open to new suggestions.
If you would like to find out if there are tickets still available, please email info@eyematter.org.uk

Grieving the life you expected
All of us have expectations about life and the world around us. Some are societal, some we learn from friends and family, some we figure out for ourselves. The experience of sight loss is what we call a ‘non-finite loss’ in that it may occur as one event, but the repercussions are ongoing – and may interrupt or derail what we thought our life would be. Even if you are sight impaired from birth, you still might have absorbed ideas about a so-called ideal life and experience grief about those aspects you don’t have and fear for what the future holds.
In this special in-person workshop, there’ll be the chance to share experiences with your peers and, crucially, learn ways of re-working your expectations and letting go of fear.

Ready to challenge and stimulate your brain and lift your heart?
Neurobics is a fun, interactive brain fitness session designed to boost wellbeing through games and mindful challenges. Using simple, enjoyable brain exercises, we’ll spark new neural connections and tap into the brain’s natural ability to grow and adapt – known as neuroplasticity.
Through playful activities and challenges, you’ll work on memory, reaction speed, focus, concentration and creative “outside the box” thinking – all while supporting stress management, better sleep and long-term cognitive health.
Brain fitness is for everyone. By giving your brain what it needs, you can help manage, postpone or even reduce cognitive decline – and most importantly, have fun while doing it!
Come along, get involved and enjoy a session that keeps your brain active and your spirits high.

Avenue Q is back on the block.
For its 20th anniversary, the three-time Tony Award-winning musical Avenue Q returns to the West End in all its glory.
Fresh out of college and searching for his purpose, Princeton ends up in a shabby apartment on New York’s rundown Avenue Q. He quickly meets his new and colourful neighbours where together they navigate the life struggles of work, love and paying the bills in their own hilarious way.
Irreverent and irresistible, Avenue Q is the mischievous and charming musical full of infectious songs and loveable characters that will leave you smiling for days.
With original Broadway director Jason Moore (Pitch Perfect, Shrek the Musical) and original puppet designer Rick Lyon, re-discover the fun, fuzz and felt for a strictly limited season.
Content warning
Avenue Q contains strong language and adult themes and content. Parental guidance is advised.

An audio described performance of The Producers
Wednesday 15th July
7:30pm
At The Garrick Theatre
Touch tour TBC
Tickets are £33 per person
Hailed as ‘the funniest show in London’ (★★★★★ The Standard), this outrageous musical has audiences and critics roaring, declaring it a ‘masterful comedy – the show we need right now’ (The Times).
The first major London revival of Mel Brooks’ The Producers has exploded onto the West End with ‘his genius for hammily catchy melodies and taboo-busting gags’ (★★★★★ Sunday Express), now playing at the Garrick Theatre after its sold-out run at the Menier Chocolate Factory.
Based on Brooks’ cult classic film, the original Broadway production won a record-breaking twelve Tony Awards, and this revival proves why. When down-on-his-luck producer Max Bialystock teams up with timid accountant Leo Bloom to stage a surefire flop, their scheme backfires with thunderous applause and unstoppable laughter.
