This review is especially helpful for those who have or use the following: Powerchair
Overview
the streets surrounding the square is a bit uneven and cobbled stone. The square is all ramped and the surface is boards with astro turf carpeting. This, in places, is quite uneven. There is an accessible toilet although I didn't see it. Access to venue is via ramp which is at the back.
Transport & Parking
As the immediate surrounding area is pedestrianised for festival There is not much parking in the surrounding area but there is a taxi rank directly outside. There is a bus service a few minutes away.
Access
the streets surrounding the square is a bit uneven and cobbled stone. The square is all ramped and the surface is boards with astro turf carpeting. This in places is quite uneven. To access the venue we were taken round the back where there was a ramp. The ramp itself was a bit too steep, although I did manage in the powered wheelchair. Once in, viewing is from a raised area at the back where you get a great view.
Toilets
There is an accessible toilet in the square although I did not see it so can't rate it.
Staff
Staff were very helpful and friendly.
Anything else you wish to tell us?
We were required to be at the venue 15 mins before the show where a member of staff escorted us round the back to the ramped access. We were seated and settled before everyone got in. The show was the Jive Aces and it was an excellent show! Would highly recommend it.
