Christine Bovill, Piaf to Pop at St Andrews' Byre Theatre.

Arriving on my mobility scooter was able to park at the back of the stalls and walk to my theatre seat with two walking sticks.

Who designed this?

Went to use Byre theatre cafe but it was closed. Kindly allowed me to use disabled toilet. Usual issues with sharing space for baby changing makes it tight to turn in wheelchair but worst design of a bathroom ever given the toilet roll holder was mounted high up on a wall about 3 feet from the toilet! Unless you had arms like an orangutan absolutely impossible to reach! Shame I did not have my phone to take a picture of this stupidity.
