Co-op Live

We have visited a couple of times since it opened and found the venue accessible and the staff helpful and friendly. The viewing areas are good, but like all places I just wish there were more wheelchair accessible spaces. The co-op backstage club is good, but a tad expensive at £35ish extra each. You do get a drink included and there is lots of space to get around. Plus you can go in earlier before the other main doors are opened.

I used crutches for the Pet Shop Boys concert instead of a wheelchair because I think wheelchair spaces ran out at the time of booking. Anyway, I got to entrance C and there was a massive queue to get in so I spoke to a member of staff and luckily they had a separate accessible queue in entrance B which was a lot shorter and had a lift. I then went to my seats but to get to my seat I had to climb lots of steps and I couldn’t go any further after a few steps so the staff were very helpful and got us different seats. Which were much more accessible for me. I really enjoyed the concert and left half an hour early so I didn’t have to queue for the tram to get home

Arrived by tram with great support from the Bee Network staff. Had great assistance and no queuing. Excellent ambulent disabled seats with plenty of room and a brilliant view.
