Overview

This is an accessible venue, with lift access and designated wheelchair accessible areas. Unfortunately the restricted viewing at the accessible area was quite extreme. Fantastic staff who remedied it quickly, but it made us a bit of a spectical which left the kids a little embarrassed.

Transport & Parking

Parking is available in the Buchanan Galleries car park (fee attached), but we were lucky enough to find on street parking (free with blue badge). The venue is in the centre of Glasgow, so plenty of transport links. Buchanan bus station is directly opposite the disabled access entrance.

Access

The disabled access entrance is available on Killermont Street. There are two platform lifts giving access (from either side of the staircase in the entrance hall). Once inside the main area of the concert hall, there is various entrance points for disabled access, depending on where you are to be seated. We were on the 1st floor, so used a second lift to get access to our seats.

Toilets

The accessible toilets are hidden slightly and were a little difficult to find. This could be because it was such a busy event, so it may well be easier to find when the venue is quieter. The looks themselves were quite tight and cramped. Far from the spacious changing places loos.

Staff

The staff were incredibly helpful throughout. They helped make it such an amazing experience, despite the problems we had at that beginning.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

The seats we were allocated at the side of the venue were very poor (you will see in the images). If the event takes place on the stage, it might not be too much of an issue. However, if you’re watching something on the big screen, then it is incredibly poor. As I mentioned above though, the staff arranged alternative seating for us (after a little comosion). It was well worth it to watch the show though.
