Our low-counter box office is located to the right of the main entrance, here is where our team will scan your ticket(s). If you have purchased tickets in advance, you will need your customer order number
or ticket.

Portable hearing loop equipment is also available from the box office.

From the box office a ramp leads down into the foyer, where the accessible toilet is located. A lift in the foyer provides access to the mezzanine and viewing area above the main auditorium.

The layout of each event varies on the type of event. This information will be available on each event listing on our What’s on page. If you would like to speak to us about the layout please call 0115 9932300 or email [email protected].

We will always do our best to meet your requirements. We will give you the option of where you wish to view the stage, however following a risk assessment busier shows may mean the mezzanine is the safest option.

Standing
For standing events, we have six available wheelchair spaces in the mezzanine (see mezzanine section). These are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis upon booking. We kindly ask that anyone looking to use this facility book a ‘Mezzanine Wheelchair Access’ ticket.

Seated
At seated shows, we are able to adjust the seating in the first three rows to give wheelchair users an excellent vantage point, here their partners/ companions can sit alongside them. We ask anyone attending in a wheelchair to let us know when booking – or before the event – that you will require space for your wheelchair in the venue, so that the seating can be set up in advance.

Customers with access requirements can bring an essential companion, if required. Please email [email protected] to request an essential companion ticket, free of charge.

Customers that have difficulty standing and queuing can also get in touch by call 0115 9932300 or email [email protected], to arrange early entry in to the venue.
