Accessibility

Access Overview

We were seated in the Netherlander box and access to this was via a side door on Bainbridge Street. (see Wheel With Me)

Any access host meets you and escorts you around. There is level access from the street to the box. This area contained an accessible toilet and there were steps for carers to go to the main theatre to use a different toilet if required or access the bar.

According to the theatre's website, manual wheelchair users and lightweight electric chairs (under 300kg combined weight with user) can sit in the stalls via a lift in either aisle transfer seats or remain in the chair in spaces ZZ50 and XX50. We did see a couple of wheelchair users below transferring into aisle seats but I did not personally experience this. See Theatre website for more details here.

Toilet Facilities

The toilet was located in the corridor leading to the box. It was incredibly large and there was plenty of room to turn around or side transfer.

As the only access to the toilet was from the box it was also private with only those in the box being able to use it.

There is also an accessible toilet in the stalls which requires a Radar Key.

Access Host

The access host was fantastic. They met us at the front door and escorted us around the side to our seats.

They asked us if we wanted refreshments before the show and during the interval and were happy to get these for us.

Great service all round.

Seat & View

The Netherlander box has space for two wheelchairs and two carers. There is plenty of space and leg room because the seats are removable. In the Stalls non transfer seats are available in spaces ZZ50 and XX50 and aisle transfer seats can also be booked. The stalls is only suitable for lightweight chairs or manual chairs due to lift restrictions (see access tab).

This Nederlander box was extremely large but the side view is significantly restricted depending on where you sit. Towards the back of the box the view is much better as it becomes more obscured the closer you get to the front of the box.

The back of the box is raised which is accessible for wheelchairs via a ramp or those who can manage a step.

There is no fixed seating so you can adjust the seating to your requirements.
