    Tivoli theatre wimborne

    Few different ways to get in here in a wheelchair. If you want to transfer they've got stair lifts at the 2 small sets of stairs. But I like to wave to the person in the entryway and they open the side door for me as this is much easier! There's bit of a steep ramp to get in to the theatre and it brings you out in front of the bar area past where everyone queues to get in and the theatre doors are just on your left. You can speak to them beforehand about where you want to sit. I like to stay in my chair so they take out some of the front seats for me. However! You may want to consider transferring and sit at the back as the slope is very steep! I can get down it OK as a manual chair user though i have to be careful, but I do actually need assistance getting back up it at the end which is unusual for me, as it's so steep that your chair can tip! (I realised this midway up and had to have my relative run round to grab the back of my chair while I hung on to a seat back lol) I think if you speak to them there might be another way in aside from this slope? But I'll happily do it again with someone behind me to give me a little push, and if you trasfer in to a seat at the top you can avoid the slope completely. There is a balcony which I think is not accessible? So keep in mind 100% of the seats aren't avaliable but for a 1930s art deco theatre I think they've done brilliantly as they can take out a fair few seats so no problem for a group of wheelchair users to go!
