Overview

First of all I would like to thank Euan's Guide for arranging the tickets for this Celtic Connections showing of BRAVE in Concert with the Live music of the Scottish National Orchestra at the Royal Concert Hall. The show/film was brilliant but the only thing that was wrong was the wheelchair seating area, when we got to the seating area the access was fine but we could not see the main screen because of rather large speakers blocking most of the main screen. The staff were great trying to arrange moving us to the other wheelchair seating area but it was just the same problem. We were then given other seats in the hall as we were able to transfer from the wheelchair to the seats and could then see the screen.

Transport & Parking

There was no specific parking at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall so we parked the car about half a mile away from the venue and we pushed along the road to the venue.

Access

The access was good using the small wheelchair lifts at either side of the stairs.

Toilets

I did not get to use the toilets. There was accessible toilets, but they were not on the level of the seating, you had to go and use the lifts and go down a level which took time as the wheelchair lifts were slow and you would miss about 10-15 minutes of the show depending on how agile you are.

Staff

The staff were great when we got to the seating area, then helping us with our wheelchairs when we had to transfer to the seats, they then put our wheelchairs away and then returned them as soon as the show was over.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

Watching the film on the big screen and the music from the SNO was great as this was the first time I have been in a theatre / cinema in all the years I have been disabled (36 years). I would go again if the wheelchair seating was improved. Sorry I did not take any pictures.
