Wheelchair And Mobility Aid Access

Our Main Auditorium offers access to patrons using mobility aids, such as wheelchairs, mobility scooters, and walkers with seats, during performances.

The removable seating is located on the left-hand side of the Stalls (Ground Floor) and is easily accessible through a dedicated ramp entering at Row L, ensuring flat access for patrons with mobility aids. The door from the ramp is 85cm wide.

Please note, we cannot take bookings for patrons who need to stay in their wheelchair or mobility aid in Circle (1st Floor), Upper Circle (2nd Floor) or Balcony (3rd Floor), as the lift is unavailable during an evacuation.

We are delighted that we can now offer online bookings for patrons using mobility aids, please click here for more information.

Transferring Into A Seat

We understand the importance of providing comfortable and accessible seating options for all our patrons, including those using mobility aids. Our Stalls (Ground Floor) area offers step-free access via a ramp, allowing patrons to easily travel to their seats while using their mobility aids.

Once seated, a member of our Ushering team will assist patrons in removing and safely storing their mobility aid until it is needed again. For patrons who prefer to transfer into their seat, we recommend the use of aisle seating on the left-hand side of the Stalls (Ground Floor).

For patrons who prefer an elevated view of the stage, Circle (1st Floor) Row E provides step-free access via a lift. However, please note that in case of an evacuation, lift access is not available. Therefore, for your safety, we ask that any patron seated in the Circle (1st Floor) can independently use the stairs in an emergency or attend with a companion who can assist.

There is no step free access into seating on Upper Circle (2nd Floor) or Balcony (3rd Floor).

Storing Your Wheelchair Or Mobility Aid During A Performance

Once patrons are comfortably seated, a member of the Ushering team will store mobility aids underneath the stairs in the Stalls (Ground Floor) foyer. Unfortunately, mobility aids cannot be kept in the auditorium unless they are being used as seating in the removable seating areas.

Hearing Enhancement and Assisted Listening Devices

We have an Auracast 'Auri' Assisted Listening System. Using the device and a pair of headphones or your own compatible device, you can boost the volume of the performance or listen to a performance's Audio Description (subject to availability - click for details). Ask our usher at the kiosk next to the lift on the Stalls (Ground Floor) for your Auri device.

Top tips for enhancing your visit if you are hard of hearing:

• You can sit anywhere whilst using our Auri devices.

• The kiosk Usher can run you through how to use the device.

• If using Bluetooth to connect to your own hearing aid, please make sure your hearing aid and phone are fully charged, as it can drain quickly.

• If not using our headsets, it is very important that you know how to operate your own hearing device, including whether it is Auracast enabled, as our Ushers are not experts in hearing aid technology. Contact your Audiologist in advance of your visit if you need any guidance.

If you have any queries, please feel free to contact us (or your audiologist) in advance of your visit, or talk to an usher on the day. For more information email sally-ann.rhodes@everymantheatre.org.uk 

Accessible Toilet For Use During A Show

We have an accessible toilet on Stalls (Ground Floor) level to the left of Row C. This toilet requires a Radar Key for entrance, so please ask one of our staff if you do not already have one.

Chill Out Space

We have a chill out space in the Circle Bar (1st Floor) with seating and a live feed of the show for anybody that is overwhelmed during a performance. 

Assistance Dogs

All assistance dogs are welcome in any part of The Everyman at any time, including during a performance. If you require an assistance dog to be with you for a performance, please let our Box Office know on 01242 572 573, access@everymantheatre.org.uk or our dedicated access line - 01242 705559.
