Access for Disabled Artists

The venue is accessible for wheelchair users, as it is either step-free or has ramps in place over low steps.
The dressing room has a low step to it, but this is accessible via a short ramp. 

Our main stage has an access ramp, and with prior notice we can arrange use of a stage lift from a partner venue in Bristol for our other stages.

Our rooms are flexible in their set up, and can all be arranged so that a performance can take place on the floor with seating banks set around the performance space, in an amphitheatre style.

The venue can provide an assistant or guide on request for any visiting disabled artists.
