点评:We love that this is our local venue for all sorts of shows and community events.
The culture of access and inclusion is the best I've experienced. I can wake at 3am, scroll through shows and book if I want to... Why is the is special? Cos most places as a wheelchair user needing a space and companion carer ticket I have to call in box office hours....
I signed up for an account, sent just a photo of my PIP letter and now when I choose seats it comes up with wheelchair spaces.
It also asked if I receive Universal Credit and as I do that's on my account too. The discounts have enabled us to see shows I never thought we'd manage after having to give up paid work.
We go to see orchestras with local school kids and groups playing too, national touring shows like 9 to 5, panto with family is in our reach again and it's fantastic!
Access is step free, there are several accessible toilets including Changing Places toilet.
There is a safe, welcoming toilet for every gender.
Staff are so lovely, well trained and it feels like a safe place to have a brilliant evening... Which can be mega hard in some places.
翻译:我们很喜欢这里作为当地举办各类演出和社区活动的场所。
这里的无障碍与包容性氛围是我所经历过的最好的。我可以在凌晨3点醒来,浏览演出信息并直接订票……为什么这里如此特别呢?因为在大多数地方,作为需要使用轮椅且需要陪同照护人员的观众,我只能在售票处开放时间内打电话订票……
我注册了账户,只上传了PIP证明文件的照片,现在在挑选座位时就能看到适合轮椅使用者的座位了。它还询问我是否领取普遍信贷,由于我确实在领取,这一信息也显示在我的账户上。这些折扣让我们得以观看那些在不得不放弃有偿工作之后原以为再也没机会看的演出。
我们现在能和当地的学童及乐队一起去欣赏管弦乐演出;像《9 to 5》这样的全国巡演剧目也能观看;和家人一起观看圣诞剧场表演对我们来说也重新变得触手可及,真是太棒了!
场馆内无障碍通道畅通无阻,还设有多间无障碍卫生间,包括“无障碍换衣间”。
这里还有一个保险箱。男女通用的无障碍卫生间。
工作人员非常可爱且训练有素,这里真是个能让人度过完美夜晚的安全之地……而在有些地方,要做到这一点可相当困难呢。
