Each month, RNIB Connect Radio's Allan Russell talks with Anne Hornsby from MindsEye Description to look at some forthcoming events with Audio Description.
AD makes television, movies, galleries  and other arts events more inclusive, accessible and enjoyable for blind and partially sighted people.
This month they’re looking at a couple of outdoor festivals, a thought provoking play in Keswick and art at the Lowry.
