Access guidance
- Many of our venues have limited space, and seating or access to the auditorium may not always be available straight away. If you have difficulty standing or queuing, please let a member of the team know when you arrive and they’ll do their best to support you.
- The Duke of York's Theatre entrance is on street level where the box office, cloakroom, main foyer area and access toilet are located. The seating design incorporates two wheelchair spaces in the Royal Circle (level access), with an accompanying companion seat. Alternatively, the patron can transfer into a designated transfer seat in the Royal Circle (level access), while the wheelchair remains in the foyer with front of house staff. Please note that when sitting in the wheelchair spaces there is a restricted view but when using a seat transfer there is a clear view to the stage. Due to the listed design of the theatre, the auditorium can only accommodate a maximum of two wheelchairs per performance. Wheelchair Space Measurements - Royal Circle Right (when looking at the stage): 85.5cm / 33 ¾ inches wide. Royal Circle Left (when looking at the stage): 91cm / 35 ¾ inches wide.
- The access toilet is to the right hand side of the main foyer area (level access), opposite the auditorium right entrance to the Royal Circle. Please note: The dimensions of this toilet are 87.5cm wide and 135cm deep.
- Assistance dogs are welcome in our venues. Our staff can look after your dog during the performance, or we can arrange suitable seats with space for your dog to remain with you. For the welfare of the animal, other customers and to maintain safe venue evacuation routes, dogs are only allowed within our designated seating areas and there are two seats that can accommodate this.
- We offer free Personal Assistant or Essential Companion tickets, subject to proof of eligibility. This facility is available to customers who require additional support or assistance as a result of a disability or long-term health condition, as defined by the Equality Act (2010). By accepting this ticket your companion, who must be aged over 16, accepts responsibility for providing the additional support you require to access our venues and services, including in an emergency situation or evacuation and must be capable and available to provide this support throughout your visit.
- All ATG venues now have a Wi-Fi based assisted listening system called Mobile Connect. The Mobile Connect amplifies the performance via your personal mobile phone or tablet. Anyone using this system will be able to hear a live feed of the performance on stage (with Audio Description if attending an Audio Described performance) through their headset or, if they wear digital hearing aids through these, from wherever they are sat throughout the auditorium when they are connected to the app.
