Overall Rating
Excellent
Brilliant, very nice accessible venue with friendly and understanding staff
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
Great. Fairly new building, so plenty of ramps, lifts and wide doors. Lovely stalls with seats removed, but stools available for carers - we had a great view
Parking & Transport
Average
Parked in shopping centre next door, undercover and plenty of bays available. Staff a bit rude when I just checked if we had to pay with a blue badge (you do, just like everyone else apparently!!) * Edit parking is now free with a blue badge :) *
Accessible Toilets
Average
Meets minimum standards, and are very clean. No hoist or changing beds. Fortunately there is a large bit of work surface in baby change area by the sink that we could lift little one onto to be changed.
Staff
Excellent
Absolutely brilliant, at every stage including booking.
Additional Information
Building is very funky and new, the colour scheme is bright orange and purple - could be a bit much for people with sensory issues. They do special performances that are ASD friendly
