ACCESS PROVISION

UPCOMING ACCESS PERFORMANCES

Mobility Access

Around the auditorium we have a range of seats suitable for wheelchair patrons and patrons with limited mobility and would advise patrons to contact box office to discuss the best seating arrangements for their requirements.

Circle

There is direct step free access from the Circle Foyer to the back row of the Circle [Row HH], which includes spaces for wheelchair users. Your companion may be seated in the row in front so as not to restrict the number of spaces available to others, but will be admitted free
There is an access lifting platform from the Circle Foyer to the Terrace and Restaurant.
There are 4 deep steps per row in the circle.

Stalls

There is a wheelchair space on the end of row F [left hand side of the auditorium as you look at the stage] in the Stalls suitable for smaller wheelchairs, with a companion seat alongside.
The aisle seats on the end of rows E and G [left hand side of the auditorium as you look at the stage] are suitable for patrons transferring from a wheelchair or requiring easy access.
There is a lift available from the Terrace - please ask a member of staff to escort you.

Virtual Tour of the Auditorium

Hard of Hearing

A Sennheiser infrared audio system is provided for hard of hearing patrons and for audio-described performances. Headsets are subject to availability. There are two types of headsets for people who may sometimes need to rely on artificial assistance for their hearing:

A headset which amplifies sound.
A neck loop which transmits the audio signal directly to the hearing aid.

There is also a loop audio system available for use at the Ticket Sales counter. To use, please turn the hearing aid to 'T' setting.

Selected performances are sign language interpreted, audio-described and captioned. These are listed in the season brochure and on our website. The brochure is also available in large print.
