Sadler's Wells Theatre

This is a modern venue with lifts and a spacious entrance hall. Staff were helpful and there is a small car park for Blue Badge holders and easy, level access to the wheelchair spaces in the stalls. Drinks seemed pretty reasonably priced and there was just a short queue at the bar immediately before the performance. Downsides - the car park was not straightforward to find (check it out on Google before you set off by car) and our entry code didn't work. We had booked seats K10 (wheelchair space) and K11 (companion). However, there was not enough space in front of K10 and the corner of the row in front for anyone to get past. Could have been a big problem. Luckily, as we were the only wheelchair party we moved over to the next space - problem solved. The accessible toilet on the ground level is far too small for a wheelchair. A helpful member of staff let us know that the lift is close by and there are additional accessible toilets on levels 1 and 2 right next to the lift. The accessible toilet on level 1 was much bigger and no queue.

Sadlers Wells is a relatively modern London Theatre which has surprisingly well located wheelchair and companion seats in the stalls. There is level entry to the theatre, 2 accessible toilets, a lift, a bar and a restaurant (not open for matinee) performances. Only negative is there are no dedicated accessible staff in fact no one to help on either of my visits. Very few foyer seats for those individuals who use a stick

Sadler's Wells is a breath of fresh air as theatres go - modern, step free access, fast lifts, space, accessible everything...and bags of legroom in the auditorium so moving around and sitting is easy. Overall it's geared up to be helpful....and of course the productions are world class.
