    Good

    Accessing the theatre is fairly straightforward as there's level access from the street into the circle where wheelchair users are seated. Getting to the seats entails negotiating a tight turn and a short steep ramp which can be awkward. Although there is no one sitting directly in front of you I had the misfortune to have a fairly tall person in the section in front of us and had difficulty seeing all the stage. Snacks and drinks can be ordered via an app and they're delivered to your seat which is useful.

    Wheelchair seating is in the Circle and is on street level.

    Buses and trams stop fairly close to the theatre which is beneficial as there's not a lot of options for parking other than the £3.00 an hour (£2.70 in the evening) Omni Centre whch is adjacent to the theatre.

    The accessible loo is in the Circle Bar. Going there in the interval I was glad I got there before anyone else as when I came out there were about 15 to 20 folk waiting to get in! I very much doubt they were all disabled.
