User Feedback:

"Given the age of this theatre, access is not bad.  However, there are a few factors wheelchair users need to aware of.  There is a steep ramp inside the foyer, which means assistance may be required.  Wheelchair spaces are located at the back of the circle - if heights are an issue this may not suit, as you look down towards the stage.  Views can also be restricted given the seating layout" - Helen - 31.03.07
