Accessibility

NAC has level access upon entry, with the door having a push pad entry system. There are induction loops in the box office, can bar and an infrared loop in the main auditorium. We have a low box office desk and bar. The auditorium has a push pad entry system, a viewing platform and a ramp down to the main space. The bar is situated on the ground floor with level access through. Unfortunately our back garden is not accessible through the main building, with it having 4 large descending steps. If you would like to access our back garden during an event, please speak to a member of our team who can direct you round to the back garden, off NAC premises.
