Plan your visit
Out of respect for guests and performers, late entry may not be permitted. We cannot guarantee your original seats after the concert begins.
Accessibility
- Wheelchair access
There is ramped, level access from the entrance through to the auditorium (the entrance path is loose gravel, so take care), with space for four wheelchairs at ground-floor level alongside several ground-floor seats. An induction loop is fitted in the auditorium and there is an accessible toilet on the ground floor. The building has no lift, and due to its age some areas and the lower-level toilets involve steps. There is no on-site parking, but Blue Badge parking is available on Broad Street, roughly 180 metres away. To discuss specific needs in advance, contact 01865 277558 or [email protected].
