Additional Info: Audio Enhancement via a headset of the loop system is available; Our Tour script can be requested in advance or on the day; The Tour includes steps, and whilst every effort has been made to make this tour accessible, the gallery can only be accessed via steps.

As a working theatre with ongoing performances, rehearsals, and other technical work, there are certain times when parts of the building will be inaccessible. We do not schedule tours during busy periods, and are committed to providing as much behind-the-scenes access as possible. In rare circumstances it may be necessary for tours to be rescheduled.
