“We couldn't be more grateful to Performance Interpreting for their incredible work. Their amazing team of BSL interpreters brought energy, passion, and accessibility to every performance.”

For Event Organisers
Deaf access consultancy and sign language interpreting that fits your event - not the other way around.
What we offer
Deaf access consultancy and full-service interpreting
We don’t just supply interpreters - we consult, plan and deliver. From advising on your legal obligations under the Equality Act 2010, through to designing your access plan and managing the interpreter team on the day.
BSL & ISL Interpreting
British and Irish Sign Language for concerts, festivals, sport, theatre, comedy and more.
Full access packages
BSL, ISL, live captions, induction loops - tailored to your venue and audience.
On-site coordination
A PI coordinator manages the interpreter team, liaises with production and adapts in real time.
How it works
From enquiry to curtain up
We’ve refined the process over hundreds of events. Low-friction for your team, nothing missed on the day.

Your Message to the Venue
Only with PI
A dedicated app for your Deaf audience
No other interpreting service offers this. The PI Events App gives your Deaf attendees a free toolkit - event listings with interpreter names, speech-to-text, communication cards for bars and staff, festival checklists and direct feedback after the event.
For organisers, it means better engagement, measurable access impact and evidence you can use in your reporting. Your event appears in the app automatically when you book with PI.

Why PI
The difference between a supplier and a consultancy
Most agencies provide a name and a DBS check. They let you figure out positioning, lighting, rotation schedules and legal compliance on your own. We’ve seen the results - interpreters placed where nobody can see them, no rotation plan for a twelve-hour festival and organisers exposed to legal risk they didn’t know existed.
Performance Interpreting operates as a consultancy. That’s why Wembley, The O2, Live Nation and the Premier League choose PI — a service that integrates seamlessly with theirs.
Event-specialist interpreters - not generalists
NRCPD-registered, every time - no exceptions
600+ events including six Premier League clubs and national arenas
Legal compliance confidence - our testimony set the precedent
