I have experience of challenges around: hearing and understanding.

Overall Rating

Excellent

It was very difficult to find, I had to ask a lot of people to find it. But once I got there, the magician was very welcoming and the staff were very friendly and took me to my seat. I love live magic and seeing people being entertained and being a part of the show. The venue could've been in a better place or better signposted. And the show could've been a bit longer by another half an hour.

Disabled Access In and Around

Poor

I think it would've been quite difficult if you were in a chair. There were steps and I couldn't see a ramp. I could see everything I wanted to see from my seat. There wasn't much seating where you could stop and take a rest outside of the venue. I didn't see any alternative formats. The show was well signposted.

Parking & Transport

Poor

I got the bus and then walked. I got the bus to the top of the mound. I thought the show was there but it wasn't. So then I had to walk to get to George Sq gardens. I didn't see any parking places nearby. I also didn't see many bus stops nearby.

Accessible Toilets

Bad

I didn't see any toilets at all, including accessible ones.

Staff

Excellent

Friendly and very helpful. They didn't show me to my seat but they did welcome me in and I could pick where I could sit. The seats were a bit small too. Not the most spacious but I did feel comfortable. Would be quite difficult for a wheelchair to get in.
