There are 10 wheelchair spaces available in Stalls at the end of rows G, H, M, N and R, some of which are transfer to seat only. These will need to be requested at the time of booking. Please also speak to our access team, prior to booking, if you intend to visit with a motorised mobility wheelchair/scooter. Access to stalls is available via the street level access entrance on King Street. Please note that our King Street entrance is on a hill which heads down towards the river and is cobbled with a slope. When you arrive at the street-level access entrance, please ring the bell to the right hand side of the door and a member of staff will greet you there.

Entrance – Please be aware the auditorium opens 30 minutes prior to the show, therefore we recommend any wheelchair users, and any other access patrons, arrive no earlier than this.
