Overview
I have visited the Usher Hall for concerts a few times now and each time have been impressed. I have been on the lower ground for two concerts, one amongst the standing audience and one amongst seated audience. When in the standing audience, a platform is positioned to allow wheelchair users and those with mobility issues to be raised slightly above the crowd. Within the seated audience, seats are removed to accommodate wheelchair users. Another concert had been to at this venue, I was one level above and the venue has an elevator to take you up to a very uniquely placed space at the edge overlooking the stage, what a fantastic view!
Transport & Parking
There is plenty parking nearby and also good bus links.
Access
Access is through the box office for wheelchair users and from there you are directed to your seat by staff.
Toilets
I have only spotted one disabled toilet in the venue. There may be more, but I only know of one. If there is only one that would explain why it's also busy.
Staff
Staff are very helpful and friendly, adding to the good experience.
