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.

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.

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.

PI operates as a consultancy. That’s why Wembley, The O2, Download and the Premier League keep coming back.

Event-specialist interpreters - not generalists

NRCPD-registered, every time - no exceptions

500+ events including six Premier League clubs and national arenas

Legal compliance confidence - our testimony set the precedent

Absolutely amazing people. Wish they were at every gig. Really got everyone in the mood.
