Wheelchair user access is provided using the Domino Zonzini platform Stair Climber.
The stair climber accommodates wheelchairs up to 87.5cm (34 inches) in length and 96.5cm (38 inches) in width – excluding any footrest. The maximum combined weight the Stair Climber can accommodate is 400kg (62 Stones) when distributed evenly across the wheelchair.
Electric wheelchair users may be asked to transfer into the theatre’s manual wheelchair on arrival if the theatre staff consider the electric wheelchair unsuitable for transportation on the Stair Climber. Electric and manual wheelchair users are requested to contact our Access Team via phone or email ahead of purchasing tickets to discuss specific requirements and to book the use of the Stair Climber.
We ask that all patrons requiring the use of the Stair Climber arrive at the theatre 45 minutes before the start of the performance.
