Physical Accessibility for Richard II

For Seats in the Stalls

The Stalls can be reached via a platform lift at the back of the foyer (the lift can carry up to 300KG). Once you are in the auditorium there are steps to most seats.

For seats in single-lettered rows, there are between 1-7 steps (without a handrail).

For seats in double-lettered rows, you will need to descend 7 steps (without a handrail), cross the auditorium to the opposite side, then ascend 16 steps (with a handrail) to reach your seats.

If you have limited mobility/require easy access to an exit or toilet, we recommend seats numbered 14-52 in rows A-H or seats 14-74 in rows J to L.
