Are there any accessible seats at the Bloomsbury Theatre?
To enter the building, there are four steps from street level to the main entrance, followed by another seven steps leading to the main foyer, where the Box Office is located. However, there is a lift (80cm by 135cm floor space, 400kg weight limit) available to bypass these steps, providing access from street level to the main foyer.
The Stalls can be reached by a flight of seven steps, or alternatively, via a wheelchair lift from the main foyer. Seats beyond row E are most easily accessed through the auditorium aisle, which includes one or two shallow steps between each subsequent row (see map). Rows A to D have ramp access on the near side aisle.
To access the Circle, there are lifts in the building lobby (80x110cm) to an alternative entrance at the circle level, which has level access. From there, a platform lift (90x120cm, 300kg limit) provides access to the uppermost rows of the Circle (row E and the Gallery Slips).
The theatre is equipped with an infrared hearing system, and headsets are available upon request. An induction loop is also installed, which can be accessed by setting a hearing aid to the ‘T’ position. Additionally, the theatre offers relaxed performances.
