Barbican Theatre
We believe that the joy of live performances should be accessible to all, and we're committed to removing barriers so everyone can enjoy entertainment in a comfortable, inclusive, and welcoming environment.
Getting around
Spaces for wheelchair users in the rear of the Stalls (four) with companion seats. Seats in the back row of the Stalls (T) may be suitable for people with limited mobility as there is step-free access. All other rows are accessed by means of steps.
Seats in the theatre auditorium have a width of approximately 46cm, and a depth of approximately 43cm, with non-moving arm rests.
Assistance Dogs may be taken into the theatre – please tell us when booking to ensure your seat has enough space. If you prefer, you may leave your dog with a member of the cloakroom staff during the performance.
For BSL and Captioned performances, some Stalls seats are reserved for people who are D/deaf or hard of hearing.
Headsets are available for audio-described performances and amplified sound and can be collected prior to performance at Stalls Left & Right entrances.
