Barrowland Ballroom

I went to see a Griff concert last night Very friendly staff Dedicated raised accessible platform But to get up stairs they use a stairclimber, which can only take manual wheelchairs

At last I'm able to attend gigs at this iconic venue

Despite a recent review here advising us that this venue is wheelchair friendly, it is not. I phoned the venue concerning an upcoming show today, to be told that the have a stairclimber which negates the old habit of being carried up the stairs. The 'viewing platform' is still the old rear gantry which doesn't have leg-room allowing a disabled customer to face the stage. Nice if you have spasticity symptoms and have to crank your head all night. Also there are no toilets on the level. But here's the stinger - powerchairs are not included as they're too heavy for the rudimentary stair-climbing facility. Since i was last there, I'm in need of a powerchair. This venue is still not properly wheel-chair accessable.
