Overview

The staff at The Storytelling Centre in Edinburgh were extremely welcoming and helpful on arrival, explaining everything we (a group of 9 adults with learning disabilities and 5 staff) needed to know and making sure we had room to sit down while we waited. Some members of our group needed to use the lift and access was straightforward and eased further by the efficiency of The Storytelling centre staff. We were given seating right at the front of the theatre which really benefited the members of our group with visual impairment and with concentration difficulties. The 30 minute show was also the perfect length for our group with a simple story, lovely puppets and a variety of sounds. After the show we all had coffee in the Storytelling Centre Cafe and here again the staff were kind and helpful and moved around chairs and tables so we were able to sit together. Many many thankyous Edinburgh Storytelling Centre for making our visit so enjoyable and smooth! We recommend you most highly and will definitely be back next year!!

Transport & Parking

It was possible to park directly outside to drop off and pick people up but there is no disabled parking.

Access

4

It is possible to walk straight into the venue from the street which was excellent for us. As the building is so old the entrance way is quite narrow but in this occassion it was more than fine for us.

Toilets

The accessible loo was very easy to find and was also pointed out to us by the venue staff on our arrival. It was clean and tidy.
