SSE Arena

I visited the SSE arena in September 2024, to attend a concert. I found the arena itself to have very good accessibility. However we found it quite difficult to get a wheelchair accessible taxi outside after the concert.

Wheelchair user, easy access into building, lift to first floor and enter by gate 15 to wheelchair area. Spacious and easy access to very large disabled toilet. Very friendly, helpful staff, a very positive experience

The SSE Arena in Belfast is an entertainment venue, hosting a wide range of events such as concerts, comedy shows, sporting events and also a range of restaurants and bars. Disabled parking bays are available in the main car park closest to the building, accessible to blue badge holders. Entry into the building is at street level and lifts are available to provide access to all levels of the building. Vertical access through the building is provided principally by three 12-person lifts, one located in the North VIP entrance, one in the South VIP entrance and one in the main entrance lobby. Staff are on hand at events to provide assistance if required. A limited number of wheelchairs are available to visitors on request. There are 12 unisex, wheelchair accessible toilets throughout the Arena. The Arena Box Office has low level counter. Hearing enhancement systems. Six dedicated viewing areas are provided, providing access for visitors using wheelchairs and companions in the venue.
