The venue has a permanent, concrete ramp suitable for manual and electric wheelchairs. This entrance is clearly sign-posted and accessed from the pavement at the Forrest Road side of the building, next door to MUMS Great Comfort Food. This ramp provides entrance to the theatre via the auditorium. There is level access through to the café/bar and toilets, also. There is no level access to the box office, though. Customers with mobility impairments which prevent them using steps should purchase tickets online. To enter the building through the main entrance, the public must climb two upward steps from the pavement into the venue’s enclosure. There is then a short walk to the main entrance of the building. To enter the building, three upward steps must be climbed, at which point the audience find themselves in the box office area. From the box office, to the café, toilets and auditorium, there are two more upward steps to climb. There are no bannisters along this route, yet our staff will be happy to offer mobility assistance climbing these steps. The level access route into the auditorium is through the café. We do not have lowered sections on our bars/café, yet our staff offer you service by coming out from behind the bar/café whenever necessary.
