About this app

PI Events is the first app built specifically for Deaf and hard-of-hearing people to find live events with BSL (British Sign Language) and ISL (Irish Sign Language) interpreters across the UK and Ireland.

Browse hundreds of interpreted events - concerts, theatre, sports, comedy, festivals, and more - all in one place.

AT THE EVENT TOOLS
Practical tools for use at live events:
- Show Staff cards - pre-written messages for venue staff, bar staff, or queues
- Food and drink ordering cards to show at the bar
- Emergency cards for urgent situations
- Speech to Text - real-time speech recognition on screen
- Feel the Music - feel the bass through vibrations (coming soon)

FIND EVENTS YOUR WAY
- Browse by category: concerts, sports, theatre, comedy, festivals, conferences
- Search by artist, venue, or event name
- Filter by date, location, and interpretation type (BSL or ISL)
- Events across England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Ireland

HOW TO BOOK
A complete booking guide with venue-by-venue contact information for over 100 venues. Learn how venues handle access bookings, what to expect and tips from the Deaf community.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
Plain-English information about your rights under the Equality Act 2010, the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (Northern Ireland), and the Equal Status Acts 2000-2018 (Ireland).

FESTIVAL CHECKLIST
A practical checklist for Deaf festival-goers covering everything from before you go to when you arrive.

WORKS OFFLINE
Event data is cached on your device so you can browse events without signal - essential for large venues and festival sites where connectivity is poor.

ACCESSIBILITY FIRST
Built with accessibility at its core: high contrast colours, large touch targets, full keyboard navigation, screen reader support with ARIA labels throughout, and plain English text.

Built by Performance Interpreting Ltd - a BSL and ISL interpretation company working at live events across the UK and Ireland.
