aboutSectionText

Derby Theatre has a long and rich history of delivering high quality drama to audiences. Previously Derby Playhouse, our unique new partnership with University of Derby and an Arts Council England award of strategic funding, which will be built on via our entry into their National Portfolio in April 2015, now means Derby Theatre is transforming from a traditional producing house to an organisation of training, mentorship and artistic excellence.

Disabled Access Information for Derby Theatre

disabledAccessText

Derby Theatre is firmly committed to enabling all their patrons to participate in performances equally with dignity and respect. WIthin the restrictions of the building itself, the team make every effort possible to ensure that all events and performances can be accessed by those with access requirements. We operate a scheme for those who require somebody to be present in order to assist them to readily access theatre shows and as such we allow members to buy a seat for themselves at the standard rate and one for an essential companion at no cost*. Derby Theatre's Assisted Access Scheme is free to join and a short application form is available from the box office or to download. ACCESSIBLE TOILETS -Derby Theatre has large fully accessible toilets on every level of the theatre. If you require urgent access to the toilet because of an impairment / disability you can make this known to staff at any time and they will ensure that you are quickly pointed toward the nearest toilet with discretion and dignity. This can and will include both accessible toilets and staff toilets where necessary. Access Card holders need only to show their card with the WC symbol.

Seating at regular intervals

You can be dropped off outside the lift that runs from the basement car park, to level 1 where the café and Box Office is or up to level 2 where the auditorium and bar is. There is a short walk into the auditorium from the lift. Alternatively, you can be dropped off at our drop off point at the top of the ramp adjacent to the theatre, where there is a short distance into the auditorium. We can provide seating around the theatre for rest intervals if required.
