Overview

You can see the shows but wheelchairs have to sit at the back. It is OK if your eyesight is OK but might be hard if not. They tend to put on big shows such as ballet, tribute bands, musicals. I saw Stomp there, some time ago, which was excellent. There is a platform lift down to the Stalls, which the staff will help you with. Wheelchairs have to go there. There is a powered door at the front. Carer gets in free.

Transport & Parking

4

You will have to park on the road but there are disabled bays on nearby New Inn Hall Street or you can park in residents only bays if you have a blue badge. Buses all stop in the centre of town, not far.

Access

Good for wheelchairs. There is a platform lift to the seating in the Stalls. The front door is automated.

Toilets

4

There is one at the entrance floor, before you go down to the seats, which is big enough for a carer and has handrails. There is another downstairs, on the Stalls floor which is fine once you're in but problematic to get to alone in a chair because of the tight connecting doors which only prop open if someone has already wedged them open. You need them both open to get a chair through.

Staff

Helpful and friendly.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

This venue is mostly accessible to wheelchairs. Just don't try and use the downstairs loo alone unless the connecting doors are propped open.
