At Everyone Theatres, we strive to make all events across our venues as accessible as possible. We aim to programme performances with a range of access needs in mind, including BSL interpretation, captioning and relaxed performances. Quiet spaces and touch tours may be available upon request. If you have any specific queries or concerns attributed to individual venues, please refer to the access section in the venue section of the website.
What We Provide
Wheelchair User access
All venues have allocated spaces for wheelchair users. Please advise the venue/s when booking if you require a wheelchair accessible seat. Please also note that the accessible seating areas are not always suitable for mobility scooters. If you have an exceptionally large and/or specialist wheelchair, please contact the venue for guidance on the best seating areas offered. There are accessible toilets in each venue. Please note – not all our venues have lifts to all floors, please check the access information on specific venue web pages.
Deaf/ Hearing Impaired
The venues operate a variety of systems, such as fixed induction loop, Infra Red System and WaveCAST WIFI app transmitter. For venue specific information regarding systems, and upcoming BSL interpretation or captioned performances, please check the venue access web page for further information. If you require seating to lip-read, please contact the venue’s box office.
Blind or Vision Impaired
For certain shows we may be able to provide a pre-show touch tour. For further information please check the event listing on the website.
Assistance Dogs
Your guide or hearing dog is welcome: please advise the Box Office at time of booking. We do require proof of eligibility through a Recognised Assistance Dog ID card.
Essential Companion Tickets
We offer complimentary or, in some cases discounted Essential Companion tickets to customers who require additional support due to a disability or long-term health condition, as defined by the Equality Act (2010). Eligibility is assessed and administered by Nimbus Disability’s Access Card on our behalf.

FAQ’s

We will not authorise the sale of personal assistant tickets to people who are not able to provide the required proof, via Nimbus Disability which we consider to be fair and reasonable, and in line with the policies of similar organisations. This is to protect the integrity of the scheme and ensure that this facility remains available to those customers who could not attend without additional support. We will remove the ability to book such tickets from anyone found to be misusing this facility.
