Due to the age of the Grade I listed Victorian theatre building, only the Stalls level seating is accessible for patrons with limited mobility.
We have a total of 4 wheelchair spaces in the Stalls which can be booked by contacting at the box office directly.
There are accessible toilet facilities at the back of the auditorium and the Bistro bar is accessible with a ramp.
Tyne Theatre & Opera House stalls are fully accessible for wheelchair and mobile aid users with ramps in foyer/box office entrance and to Bistro Bar.
Due to the age of the theatre there is no a lift to higher levels.
Wide Seating or Additional Legroom
Due to the age of the Grade I listed Victorian theatre building the seating options are quite limited. If you require wide seating or additional legroom, the box office team will be best to advise you on where you may be most comfortable depending on remaining availability for a particular show. You can contact our box office team on 0191 243 1171 (10am-3:30pm Mon-Fri) for guidance.
Our standard seating has approximately 42cm between the arm rests and the arm rests are not moveable. If you require more space than this, please get in touch with our box office team when booking who will be able to arrange alternative seating for you, subject to availability.
Legroom is limited throughout the venue due to the age of the building.
However, some seats have additional legroom due to their placement and in some seats the legroom is especially limited. Please check this seating map (where seats with additional legroom are marked in green, and those with especially limited leg room are marked in red) to ensure you’re booking seating where you will be comfortable.
