Our Commitment to Accessibility

We prioritize accessibility in every decision, ensuring everyone can enjoy our performances.

At our events, you can always count on an accessible venue featuring ramp access to the garden and lift access to the Second Floor Studio. We provide BSL interpreters, Changing Places toilets, and accessible, inclusive facilities to ensure everyone feels welcome. Enjoy our indoor and outdoor sensory and quiet zones, along with ear defenders and fidgets available for your comfort. Your experience matters to us, and we're dedicated to making our events inclusive for all!
