- Three steps into the foyer through the centre doors and through a set of swing doors. The Box Office counter is on the right-hand side. Staircases have handrails on both sides and some steps are highlighted. Stalls are 30 steps down / up from the foyer, Royal Circle up 24 steps, Upper Circle and Gallery up 57. 14 steps down from the Stalls to the Stalls bar, none to the Royal Circle bar (apart from within the auditorium) and 3 to the Upper Circle / Gallery bar. Customers with mobility issues are advised to book stalls seats. The auditorium opens 45 minutes before the performance. If you require access to the Stalls with no steps you would use an alternative entrance, this can be opened from 30 minutes before a show. The Oscar Wilde Room is accessed via a staircase so is not suitable for patrons with mobility issues.
- Please contact the Duty Manager or Box Office on arrival. No earlier than 30 minutes before the show if possible, as that is when we can allow you access to the auditorium. Access is through the side doors on the Haymarket at the front of the building. Exit is by doors either side of the foyer on the Haymarket. Two wheelchair spaces are available at the back of the auditorium. If patrons can transfer from their wheelchair, they are able to book an aisle seat in the Stalls if available.
- Disabled patrons and those with access needs can call our Box Office directly Monday to Saturday 10am to 7.30pm. An Access rate is available for the person needing access and one other companion, although not on all price bands. To enter the building with no steps an alternative entrance to the Stalls is used.
