| Access in the Theatre |
Both entrances have level access and doors which can be opened by a push button placed at a suitable height for wheelchair users. There is a lift to all floors, and accessible toilets on each level. The Arts Restaurant, Wine Bar, Founders’ Rooms and the Circle and Stalls Bars are all fully accessible.
We have eight spaces reserved for wheelchair users in the stalls. Please let us know what type of wheelchair you have when you book your seats; this will enable us to allocate the correct space. The Arts Theatre has two house wheelchairs.

| Deaf and Hearing Impaired Customers |
The auditorium has a Sennheiser infra-red hearing enhancement system and an induction loop in the circle and rear stalls. The Box Office will advise you on which seating area suits your specific needs. A limited number of headsets are available from the Front of House kiosk on payment of a £5 returnable deposit; they are easy to use, but please arrive a few minutes early if you haven’t used them before. Our Front of House staff are happy to help; please let them know if you experience any problems.
