The venue is fully wheelchair accessible, with ramps available into the building and flat entrance to the performance area. An accessible toilet is provided inside the building and chairs will be available to sit on for those with limited mobility.
Due to the nature of the city centre, our march route does include hills and uneven streets however our march route will follow the high street down to Abbey Gardens. When walking to unit 12, we will be going up and down hills and so suggest that anyone with limited mobility uses the Stagecoach number 2 bus to the Winnall Close bus stop (this bus departs from the broadway outside Abbey Gardens at 13:45)
A quiet area will be provided at the back of the garden in an enclosed space with sensory aids available. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the venue we cannot provide an entirely quiet space but a small park is situated a 2 minute walk from the venue.
A live captioning service will be provided on a screen next to the performances at Unit 12 however we cannot ensure 100% accuracy with this.
