 Venue Description

There is one step up at the entrance of the venue. We have a temporary ramp that we are happy to use for you. If you require use of this ramp, just let us know in advance or on arrival and we will put it out for you. If you are a wheelchair user, we have an alternative entrance on the right hand side of the building. This entrance will lead straight to our viewing area on the right hand side of the stage. If you would like to make use of this entrance, please let us know in advance, and make yourself known to our security on the door of your arrival, and you will be escorted to the side entrance.

Bookable Access Facilities 

If you require access to our viewing area and are a wheelchair user, or if you require a seat please get in touch in advance to reserve.

Personal Assistant tickets

We offer a PA ticket at no additional cost for customers who would otherwise be unable to attend the venue. If you require a PA ticket, please contact us. Please be aware that you may be asked to provide evidence of this requirement.

Accessible viewing area

We have a dedicated viewing area in front of the stage, on the right hand side. There are also stools available that we can reserve for you, for use around the venue. If you require a seat, or want to make use of our dedicated viewing area, please let us know in advance, and we can arrange this for you.
