Overview

This theatre produces and hosts excellent productions, so it's great that it is also welcoming and inclusive. Open flat access to the foyer, box office, stalls, and cafe, with (one) disabled loo. However, there is no access to the first or second floor for wheelchair users (or people who have difficulty with stairs), so any talks or related events are usually inaccessible. (Uncertain about provision and support for visual and audio impairment.)

Transport & Parking

There is ample on-street disabled parking outside the venue. There is also a small company car park behind the theatre - it may be possible to park here if none of these spaces are free?

Access

Easy flat access to the foyer, box office, stalls, and cafe. Many seats in the foyer. However, no access to the first or second floor for wheelchair users (or people who have difficulty with stairs), so any talks or related events are usually inaccessible. (Uncertain about provision and support for visual and audio impairment.)

Toilets

There is only one, but it was easy to find, clean, and had everything necessary.

Staff

All very welcoming.

Venue Manager responded to this review

Thank you for your great review of Oxford Playhouse. As you mention, due to the layout of the building access to the upper floors of the Playhouse is restricted, so we hold frequent post-show discussions in the auditorium and aid people attending touch tours onto the stage in acknowledgement of the access issue. Thank you!
