Getting around

Access parking
Nearby parking options are off‑site, with the closest being Southwark Bridge Village.
Step free access and wheelchairs
Wheelchair access into the building is via the legacy/main entrance on Southwark Street, with staff support available for entering the step‑free entrance.
The theatre accepts one wheelchair per performance, with a companion seat beside it. This space is located at the front of the auditorium with excellent views. Advance booking is required.
Visitors with limited mobility can request seating close to the entrance on ground level. Note: There are steps (approx. 4 to main entrance, 3 to bar/box office, 4 down into theatre).
Step‑free access is available to key areas including the foyer and bar.
Lift
The official access info references an access toilet lift (likely internal mechanical platform) in the temporary accessible toilet unit, with dimensions 89″ × 63″ (2.26m × 1.6m).
There is no full building‑wide lift serving all levels for audience use mentioned in any source; the venue relies instead on step‑free alternative entry + staff assistance.
Accessible toilets
Accessible toilet located in a temporary step‑free unit on O’Meara Street, functioning like a festival‑style cabin placed at ground level.
Assistance dogs

Assistance Dogs are welcome and can be looked after by the theatre staff during the performance if requested in advance or on arrival. 

Enjoying the show

Services for D/deaf and hard of hearing audiences
No assistive hearing technology (no loop or infrared system) is installed. Because the venue is very intimate, patrons with hearing loss are advised to book seats close to the stage.
