Due to the age and conversion of the building, we are not fully accessible to those with limited mobility.
The theatre is situated on the ground floor and currently has ramp access.
There are two fire exits, one single doorway, and the main entrance is a double door.
Toilets: There are two individual toilets on our ground floor. The internal theatre doorways to access these are standard measurements, not new build recommended measurements.
Our first floor and main bar are accessed only by an external staircase. On the first floor, there is one unisex toilet.
Our main bar is situated on the first floor, which is accessed by an outdoor staircase.
Downstairs, there is a kiosk bar which is open for larger sold out events, providing a smaller selection of snacks and beverages. If you require anything from the upstairs bar, such as draught lager or cocktails, please just ask a member of staff, and we will be happy to serve them to you. To provide the best possible service, please let us know in advance if you have any special requirements. Also, to receive the fastest service and avoid queuing, pre-order your interval drinks.
We do not have a hearing induction loop in place.
Seated and standing events. Please note that tickets do not have seat allocations, so please arrive early if you require a particular seat. We have a capacity of 47 seats in the theatre. The seating is a mixture of traditional fold-down seats and bench seats to the side and rear of the theatre, and sometimes the theatre is set up cabaret style with tables and chairs. If the event is a standing event, there are still two cushioned bench seatssagains the wall.
