Overall Rating

Average

The theatre is old and characterful but disabled facilities leave much to be desired. Staff are excellent in helping and trying to overcome deficiencies. Wheelchair space is at rear of stalls, so fine if all action is on stage floor. Hope there are no balcony scenes. Disabled toilet is a bit cramped for ordinary wheelchair so problems for larger ones or scooters. Access to venue is by a side door and you have to buzz staff to come and open it. Problems would not put us off visiting but Kings falls way short of standards set at Theatre Royal.
