PI Events
BSL & ISL Events, UK & Ireland
Free
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. No more searching venue websites one by one. We gather the information so you can focus on finding your next event.
AT THE EVENT TOOLS
PI Events gives you practical tools to use at live events:
- Show Staff cards - pre-written messages to show venue staff, bar staff, or restaurant staff
- Drinks and food ordering cards you can show at the bar
- Emergency cards to show staff if you need urgent help
- Speech to Text - real-time speech recognition on your phone screen
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)
- See 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 each venue handles access bookings, what to expect, and practical tips from the Deaf community.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
Clear, plain-English information about your rights under the Equality Act 2010 (England, Scotland, Wales), the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (Northern Ireland), and the Equal Status Acts 2000-2018 (Ireland). Know what venues should provide and how to request it.
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 even without signal - essential for large venues and festival sites where connectivity is often poor.
BSL & ISL VIDEO CONTENT
Watch key information in your sign language.
