Good access but need more toilets

Really good venue for making adjustments to allow disabled visitors and carers access to theatre. I just think they need more than one disabled toilet. Or... need to make it clear the disabled toilet isn’t for everyone.

Good access considering the age of the building

Disabled access is through a side entrance by a side street, this is flat so you can get in with a chair or scooter or the walk is only around 20m from car to seats which is great if you don't use a chair. Disabled toilet is right by back door but at the break you will have to wait as people can't be bothered to queue for the normal toilets so if you don't have a visible disability, be prepared to wait or push! Seats are well spaced to fit a big scooter, with a carer chair next to you. Only issue is the bar is up or down steps, they have an app to order drinks to your seats but we did this and the second order didn't turn up, and this may not be suitable for everybody. Overall I think the hippodrome has good accessibility for the age of the building
