Dukes theatre

We thought that the 'round' was a great space and we liked that you could remove the front row of chairs to accommodate more wheelchairs. This is also true in the Rake theatre. We also liked how friendly the staff were, taking the time to show us around. We really enjoyed the cafe as we could all sit together easily and the staff were thoughtful and considerate of our groups needs. The prices of the cafe were reasonable and the toilets were spacious and clean. The access to the building was over the bumpy cobbles, but they have ramps into the building, and could assist people to get in other parts of the building - the access points were also signposted clearly. When we rang the door bell that answered the door really quickly. We would like to come back with our families.

Disabled Access Information for The Dukes

disabledAccessText

The Dukes is based in a converted church which makes access difficult however as a company we are committed to making ourselves as accessible as possible. We have recently dropped the curb outside our entrance to allow wheelchairs easier access. We have ramp access to all three of our auditoriums. All of our home produced shows have BSL versions and Audio Description services. We work with local charities such as Deafway to constantly review our accessibility and try and improve this at every turn. We run a theatre group for young people with learning disabilities and another for adults.
