The audience is on the same level as the entrance and can be accessed with a wheelchair. There are two accessible toilets on the same floor.
There is a tactile walking surface indicator guiding you from the door to the audience. Guide dogs are obviously allowed at the event. There is an induction loop in the audience. A personal care assistant can attend the event for free when attending with the person they are assisting. There are gender neutral toilets available.
