Access to our auditorium
The theatre has 7 wheelchair spaces. It is possible for companions to sit near to wheelchair users in the auditorium. Please book any wheelchair spaces through the box office in advance when you book your tickets so that we can reserve them and the adjoining seats for anyone else in your party.

Please note, the theatre has a raked auditorium with seats over 4 levels – ground level row D, rows A-B below stage level, rows E-K and rows L-T are raked. Wheelchair access is available on ground level seats in the side aisles and row D.

Assistance dogs (Guide dogs & hearing dogs)
Assistance dogs can be taken into the auditorium, but please tell the box office when booking your seat that you are bringing your dog. Please mention this when booking and we can allocate suitable seats. Alternatively, you can leave your dog with a member of staff in the foyer and we can arrange for a bowl of water for them.
