The Motorpoint Arena Nottingham is fully accessible with flat access, lifts to all floors, and automated doors in most areas.
Accessible seating is available within the arena bowl and Hospitality Suites. Alternating blocks have easily accessed viewing platforms where wheelchair users, companions and customers with mobility issues can enjoy excellent views of the stage.
These seats are situated in open areas and on the same level as the concourse, so there are no steps to navigate. All accessible seating is located near exits and toilets.
Other seating is available in other areas of the venue for those who do not mind using steps.

We also offer a hearing loop that can be connected to a hearing aid, in selected seating locations. These need to be booked in advanced so we can ensure the hearing loop is working correctly in your chosen seat.
