Theatre Royal

We have an accessible entrance that can be used when entering the theatre to allow for step free access. There is a lift available inside to allow access between the Stalls and Upper Circle level however we would recommend the Stalls for easy access.

Our dedicated buggy park is available in the Stalls foyer to allow you to easily store your pushchairs or portable car seats whilst enjoying the show for a charge of £1.

Our booster seats can be used on our fold-down seating and can be picked up from our Stalls foyer. These are limited so we would recommend arriving early if you need to collect one. Please note these are not suitable in the balcony. Please talk to a member of our Front of House team on arrival.

Baby changing facilities are available in the toilets located in the Stalls foyer in both the ladies and gents toilets.

Baby changing facilities are located to the right of our box office on Level 0 and on Level 1. Level O (Box Office Foyer) is a Changing Place Toilet and Level 1 (Stalls) is an Accessible Toilet.
