    Live theatre: Fags, Mags & Bags

    The theatre was easy to enter using a long shallow ramp to the stage. Seats could be removed to increase space for wheelchairs. Had a great uninterupted view of the stage from the front row. Plenty of food and drink venues outside with staff helpful if you couldn't reach ordering counters. Ground covered in astro turf so not affected by numbers or poor weather. After a member of staff lead me to my seat they were willing to take my scooter out to a powersocket so it could be charged up during the performance. It was then returned as soon as the show ended. Amazing customer service.

    Great venue with helpful assistance

    The Underbelly is a wheelchair accessible theatre with well organised support set within the equally accessible George Square Gardens. Only minor drawbacks a cobbled street to cross to get there and poorly designed doorway on the accessible loos.

    Night at the underbelly

    Getting to the venue to see Jess Robinson: Unraveled The streets surounding George Square are cobbled and a bit uneven under foot. When we were waiting in the queue, like at other venues we have been at, a member of staff come to us and told us that we would be taken through a side door which was accessible up a small ramp just before the doors were about to open. This allowed us to get seated and settled before the public come in. The view we got from the wheelchair accessible seating area was just to the side of the stage in the front row so we had a fantastic view of the show. The accessible toilets are located outside in George Square Gardens and they are extremely spacious. There is a good bus service that runs past the venue with the nearest bus stop Approximately 5 min walk away.
