Overall Rating

Good

I read the reviews on the site before attending so was prepared for any issues but I’m pleased to say I didn’t have any. I went to see a rock orchestra, An interesting concept, but musically mehhhh 😏🤔. Anyway, I am not reviewing the music just the place.

Disabled Access In and Around

Good

When I approached the front door, A steward took my name and showed me to the fire exit at the side. The ramp inside is slightly steep but manageable. Once inside the venue most areas are accessible via ramps.

Parking & Transport

Average

I took a taxi to the venue, there were no issues dropping me off close bye. There are bus stops on both sides of the road servicing the southside and city centre. The subway is a couple of hundred yards away. On street parking is limited.

Accessible Toilets

Average

Although fairly small the toilet was clean and manageable, and I am using an electric wheelchair. Previous comments talked about clutter and Cleanliness but I’m pleased to say they have upped their game.

Staff

Excellent

The staff are fantastic. We were shown to a accessible area on a raised platform. This area is not exclusively for disabled people so feels a lot more inclusive.
