    Good

    I went to see a musical during the Fringe at Pleasance Two, and had a great experience! Staff were friendly and helpful, and everything went smoothly.

    Good

    Getting into the venue was easy, and there were no large crowds queuing up near the entrance to the courtyard which was helpful. Queue management in general was very good, and I didn't find my path obstructed. Pleasance Two is a small theatre space with quite steep seating. It's dark inside and loud, but not uncomfortable. When you approach the queue, a member of staff will accompany you to a side entrance with level access if required. There is a space for wheelchair users in the front row immediately next to the side entrance. This door is only for wheelchair user access however, so there are no large crowds pushing through to exit all at once. If you're not using this entrance, there is quite a steep staircase up into the venue with a handrail. Then you may have to descend more steps again to take a seat. Leg room is good, and I felt comfortable for the one hour performance.

    I walked here, but there is on-street parking nearby and bus stops on surrounding streets.

    I didn't use any while visiting the venue, so can't comment. One good thing about the Pleasance Courtyard overall is that signage is plentiful!

    Excellent

    Really excellent and lots of staff members around. There was no confusion about how to access the wheelchair accessible seating.
