I have endeavoured to ensure that the all4access database is easy to use.

You can access the information in two ways, depending on the depth of your requirements.

• Scroll down to the venue of your choice

• Use the table as your guide

For detailed information:

• Go to the search 4 a venue pages as above

• Scroll down the venue listing and click your choice

• This will link you to further information such as seating plans and feedback from disabled visitors

How Can I Get Involved?

There are many ways to help all4access.com

• If you attend concerts or the theatre regularly and feel that you could contribute to the development of this website then please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.  I currently looking for disabled people, their families and friends to assess venues throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.  Unfortunately, as all4access.com is a non-profit making incentive I do not have the finances to pay you a wage.  However, everyone who helps out will be named and thanked wholeheartedly here.

•  If you are attending a performance taking place at one of the venues listed on the search 4 a venue page get in touch with me with a review or a feedback on how you found the facilities available.  I will then add your opinions to this site.  Your comments will aid other site visitors to judge whether the venue is the right one for them.

• all4access.com has a limited amount of t-shirts available for you to wear at venues/theatres.  If you would like one, please get in touch - and don't forget to get someone to take a photograph of you wearing it so it can be added to the good vibes page on this site!

• As a non-profit making incentive I will be seeking sponsorship in order to keep this site running.  If you might be able to help, please contact me

What Do I Need To Look Out For When Reviewing A Venue?

When assessing a venue for disabled access there are many things worth considering such as:

• Are there any disabled patrons car parking bays close by?

• Are there any steps into the building?

• Is access into the venue via a main or side door?

• Are there lifts/access to all floors?

• Is there access into the venue bar?

• Are the toilet facilities accessible to all?

• What's the view like?

• Are there facilities for deaf and hard of hearing people?

• Are guide/support dogs allowed into the auditorium or will the staff dog-sit?

• Are there regular signed performances?

• Are concessions available for disabled people and their companions?

• Were the staff helpful?

• Did you feel that the Box Office staff were honest in their description of the facilities available?
