Overall Rating

Excellent

Bournemouth Pavilion is very accessible even though its quite a old building. plenty of room inside for 8 wheelchairs with seats next to these spots for carers.

Disabled Access In and Around

Excellent

Theatre is very accessible with a ramp out front and doors which open when the large button is pressed. The floor in the theatre is nice and flat but some parts have thick carpet and a large slope to get to the bar at the back.

Parking & Transport

Good

The pavilion has plenty of parking spots outside right by the entrance but the only downside is when everyone leaves the theatre, the people parked in the disabled spots can have difficultly getting out with all the other cars leaving.

Accessible Toilets

Average

A disabled toilet is located in the main foyer There is also a similar facility located on the the Mezzanine level, the level below the Ballroom. This toilet is accessible via the lift and located near to the Lucullus Room but we've never actually used these toilets.

Staff

Excellent

Everytime we have visited the Pavilions all the staff have been incredibly helpful and very welcoming!

Additional Information

The disabled seating for the Pavilion have a very good view - they are approx 6 rows from the front which is really good as we've been to some shows and been placed up on the top on a balcony with a safety rail blocking our view!
