An adaptable and often exciting little student/fringe venue inside Keble College.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
Don't be put off attending this venue if you have mobility concerns as, with a little advance planning, access is easy. The modern building has wide door and flat entrances, to both the upper and lower level. However, we recommend letting the College and the production box office know in advance that you will be attending with walking aids or a wheelchair for two reasons: 1. the space is very adaptable, meaning that the disabled seating moves depending on the layout used for a particular event/production. We have found it useful to check in advance which entrance to should use. 2. the Porters knew we were coming and so met us at a side gate, which we had parked right beside; the side gate is very close to the theatre. Otherwise, we would have gone to the - much less accessible - main gate, and had to cross the entire campus.
Parking & Transport
Average
The theatre is right inside Keble College. It may be possible to contact the college in advance to reserve college parking, but we didn't have time to do this. We parked easily on the street outside.
Accessible Toilets
Excellent
Staff
Average
The box office staff are attached to the production/event rather than the theatre, so it will change every time.
