The Symphony Hall

Fantastic concert but we did not have the best seats for a man who has mobility restrictions.

The venue is very wheelchair friendly with smooth access and ramps where ever one needs to go. The Symphony is home to the Birmingham Symphony Orchestra which is one of the finest orchestras around ANYWHERE. They have a wonderful young lady music director /conductor who brings out a fantastic sound from the musicians. The auditorium has one of the best acoustics in the world. The set up s good for the disabled with special concessions and a reasonable amount of spaces for wheelchairs. There are places for refreshments. There is a Strada restaurant within the complex. As well a s classical music there are shows by all types of entertainers.

So often on FB there are negative experiences with disabled young people so I thought I'd tell you about a positive one. We've spent the afternoon at the Birmingham Symphony Hall listening to the CBSO accompany the film 'Frozen' it was a fabulous performance that we both really enjoyed. We had brilliant seats.. I didn't pay for mine as am a career, I pre booked a disabled parking space that was right outside the main entrance to Symphony Hall, which again I didn't pay for, and was courteously escorted to on arrival. I felt like the Queen ! ( without the pastel two piece suit!lol) and Elly was definitely a princess!! Well done THSH we've had a lovely afternoon
