Overall Rating

Average

The main entrance to Pudsey Civic Hall has automatic doors, but sadly the doors after this point are all manual & quite narrow, usually requiring both to be open to allow a normal-sized powered wheelchair through. The downstairs space is large & space will vary depending on the event hosted there. The lift is accessed by going through the main space and a fire exit, which is awkward. The little is small, without mirrors, & is scarily close to the stairs. It makes disconcerting sounds, jolts, & the doors take ages to open. Genuinely terrifying, & I've been in some scary lifts. The corridor upstairs is extremely narrow, & the landing area very quickly becomes crowded. There is 1 disabled toilet on the ground floor which is clean & spacious. The venue is accessible in that I can get through the door, but clearly the building was designed with disability as an afterthought. I believe there are parking spaces nearby. There are busses & trains in the area.
