We have developed our building to make all public areas accessible, and staff are always on hand to help and guide you.

Facilities include:

Two disabled parking bays are located on Parliament Street, approximately 30 metres past the building entrance.

There are two disabled spaces in the Car Park at the front of the building, approximately 50m away.

The nearest bus stops are on Regent Road and Westminster Road approximately 50m away.

There is a shallow gradient ramp leading up to the main entrance. The ramp has a hand-rail alongside the gradient and there is alternative access to the main entrance via a step.

Push button operated, outward opening, automatic doors are in place at our main entrance.

The box office has a lowered counter and is located just inside the main entrance doors.

The secondary entrance doors are not automatic but will either be staffed and electronically unlocked or physically opened by our box office staff if required.

Assistance will be given if requested when queuing, please ask a staff member in a red More Music t-shirt. Assistance may be in the form of portable chairs, priority access or the option to move to a seated area until access is available.

We offer a viewing area in the Music Hall by arrangement. We define the viewing area as a wheelchair user space or seated space with a good view. Please contact us to arrange this and to ensure that we save space for and any others in your group so that you can enjoy your evening together. There is moveable seating available for non-wheelchair users.
