Overall Rating

Excellent

I have been to a number of theatres since being a wheelchair user. Many of the older ones cannot be made as accessible as we would like. Birmingham Hippodrome was in my experience the exception. Accessibility was excellent. There is an area set aside for people with mobility issues and their companions which meant that there was room to manoeuvre and the view of the stage was excellent.
