There are eight spaces in the stalls where wheelchair users can remain in their wheelchairs. Access is on the flat via a lift. Please note that patrons must be able to vacate the building quickly in case of evacuation.

Please note that the Upper Circle and Gallery are not accessible by lift and are therefore unsuitable for those with limited mobility.
