Facilities and Access
Our aim at Park Theatre is to be a welcoming and inclusive venue for everyone.
There are two wheelchair spaces in Park200 and one wheelchair space in Park90 and two accessible toilets with baby changing facilities on the Lower Ground and 1st floors.
We provide a range of accessible performances each season. These include Captioned, Audio Described, Relaxed and Dementia Friendly Performances. Scripts and cast lists are available in large print on request.
There are headsets available for sound amplification in both Park200 and Park90. Please ask a member of front of house staff if you require a headset.
We are a dog-friendly building and assistance dogs are welcome in both Park200 and Park90. Please request an aisle seat when you book. We can look after your service dog during the performance if you let us know in advance by emailing access@parktheatre.co.uk.
When booking in Park200 stalls please be aware that Rows A and B are one and two steps down and Row C is one step up from the entrance to the auditorium. Row B in the Circle is not suitable for those with mobility restrictions.

Accessible Performances at Park Theatre
These performances provide an audio description delivered live in-between dialogue which can be picked up through headsets for people who are visually impaired. A Touch Tour before the performance offers an opportunity to explore the set and costumes and to meet the cast. You can book your headset and a place on the touch tour when booking your tickets.
Standard tickets prices apply. Essential companion goes free.
These performances have a caption unit onstage operated to simultaneously display anything spoken or sung onstage, as well as information on sound effects and music. Captioning can be useful when strong accents are used or for people who speak English as a second language, as well as for Deaf and hard of hearing audiences.
Please be aware that not all positions in Park200 are suitable for viewing captions. Contact our Access Coordinator by emailing access@parktheatre.co.uk if you would like to book seats in which you have a clear view of the caption box.
We will discuss your access requirements and add Caption Best View booking capability to your account. This will allow you to book online and purchase locked seats, in the best positions for viewing the caption box during the performance in the future. We can also reserve appropriate seats for viewing captions in Park90.
