Overall Rating
Excellent
This music venue is used for a variety of events. It has superb acoustics and is a great place for hearing all sorts of performances.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
Once out of the lift /car park, the shoppiung centre in which this building is situated is level and spacious. Inside the building can be access via doors which are operated by buttons which are accessible form the wheelchair. In the auditorium there are designated wheelchair spaces but its best to book ahead. There is a cafe on the ground floor with tables inside and outside - all on the level. This building also houses the Tourist Information centre and the place from which mobility scooters can be hired.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
There is parking nearby on a surface carpark. Blue Badge holders have to pay, but they get twice the time for thier money. Otherwise there is underground parking with several disabled spaces asnd a lift to the ground floor. The lift is operable by the wheelchair user but is only just big enough to accommodate a companion.
Accessible Toilets
Good
There is loo downstairs but I am not sure if this is accessible, but on the first floor the accessible toilet can be accessed via an internal lift.
Staff
Excellent
