Overview
Good access, great venue and fantastic views of the performance area.
Transport & Parking
Blue Badge parking is available in the adjacent car park. Vehicles can drop off out side the main door. There's also an accessible bus service that runs into town. The Exhibition railway station is a short distance away if travelling by train.
Access
Access into the building was good with wide doors and level surfaces. Once inside a lift takes you up to the wheelchair seating area. The view were fantastic and instead of the usual high wall between you as a wheelchair user and the view there's a glass wall. It felt much more comfortable and you could see everywhere. Probably one of the best performance areas I've seen.
Toilets
Disappointed to have to move a chair out of the way that was blocking the doorway to the accessible loo I visited. The toilet was accessed using a RADAR key. It was not particualrly spacious and could be difficult if you had a carer. It wasn't the cleanest of loos I'd seen either.
Staff
Staff were helpful and enthusiastic. Helped us to take some groups photos.
Anything else you wish to tell us?
Defintely one of the best venues to go and watch a performance or event. Let down by confusing signage and lack of attention to details like keep the accessible loos clear of obstruction.
