Overview
Small theatre renovated to modern standards . Loved the atmosphere, and the history of the venue .Most areas are accessible.
Transport & Parking
We drove,there are 2 disabled spaces on the street at the side of the theatre. There is a large car park a couple of minutes away which we used as I was using my power chair. Local buses stop nearby at the Loreburne Centre.
Access
Drop down on pavements surrounding the theatre excellent. Main door was quite heavy to open , my companion had to open it for me. Main reception , bar and main auditorium accessible. 5 wheelchair spaces are available in main theatre .. There is an upstairs balcony area, in the theatre which unfortunately does not have a lift. Induction loop in place, no alternative formats available. Signage good
Toilets
Easy to find in main reception area. Clean, plenty of room to turn. Plenty of grab rails in situ. Room for a carer. Assistance cord in situ ( complete with Euan’s Guide Red cord card!)
Staff
Very welcoming,and helpful. Though some appeared to be a little flustered
Anything else you wish to tell us?
Would definitely visit again. It’s advisable to phone to prebook wheelchair seats, due to limited availability. The theatre offers free admission to an accompanying carer, if you hold a CEA card, though I wasn’t asked to show it.
