ACCESSIBILITY TOOLBAR
You can now enhance your visit to this website by using the accessibility toolbar, available to launch in the top right corner of the website. This toolbar enables you to change the colour scheme, text font style, size, colour and spacing. It also assists the reading of the site with five main tools: ruler, screen mask, magnifier and dictionary. In addition, the screen reader will read aloud website text.
SEATING
Due to the nature of our theatre, your choice of seats may be limited. We will offer you the most suitable seat for you and your companion, but will only charge you the cost of the least expensive seat in Row T for that performance. There are no discounts for shows with a flat price.
Row J is level access and a number of wheelchair spaces are available. Rows K – T are accessed via steep steps and not suitable for anyone with limited mobility. Rows A – I in the lower tier are accessed by steps on a gentler incline. Seats on the far left of the auditorium (highest numbers) are likely shadier during a sunny afternoon performance. However, this will vary depending on the conditions on the day.
See the layout of our auditorium for more information.
GUIDE DOGS, HEARING DOGS & ASSISTANCE DOGS
Guide dogs, Hearing dogs and assistance dogs are welcome at the Open Air Theatre. Please let the box office know when booking your ticket so that we can arrange an aisle seat, or have someone at hand to take care of your dog. Some of our productions contain loud noises and bright lighting effects. If this is likely to upset your dog please ask for advice when booking your ticket.
FM ASSISTED LISTENING
An FM assisted listening system is available for people with hearing impairments. Please request a handset from the Box Office when booking.
