    A night at the roxy

    I went to see a Fringe show at the Assembly Roxy venue, Movin Melvin Brown. Outside the venue is quite uneven as the street is cobbled stone. It was also quite difficult finding dropped down kerbs for my powered wheelchair. There is an o street bar area which has benches and seats for pre/post show drinks. Although it was on street level which should mean easier access , no provision was made for wheelchairs as the only way to get to the bar was from the pavements which had no dropped kerb and the bar was also sectioned off on road level by barriers right along and also "wooden planter box things" which made it look pretty but with absolutely no entrance for wheelchairs! The entrance to the venue was up a few steps so I was told I would be taken to the side entrance which is beside the stage before everyone else was in to allow me time to get settled. I was taken to the side entrance but everyone was already in and sitting in seats directly behind my space which was in the front row. The stage was so close my knees almost touched the stage and it was quite tight to manoeuvre into the wheelchair space. Eventually the people behind me moved to make it a little easier to get in place.
