Access Card notes
Our venues and staff are committed to ensuring inclusivity and we offer a welcoming space which is accessible for all. We are signed up to the Attitude Is Everything Charter which helps us to ensure our provisions and services are of the highest possible standard to our customers with special access requirements. We also host relaxed performances and BSL performances throughout the year.
Access guidance
- We encourage our visitors to either contact us in advance of their visit or speak to a member of staff on arrival, if they experience difficulty with standing or queueing. Where possible, we will assist customers to the front of long queues, or we will ensure they have access to a chair whilst they wait. We can also offer early access into the auditorium on agreement with the production staff and to ensure they can find their seats comfortably and in a relaxed manner.
- Both our venues have full level access throughout. At The Plowright Theatre, we have an exterior ramp to the main doors and a lift to the bar on the second floor. We have designated wheelchair spaces in the auditorium. We also have lowered counters at our bar and box office.
- Distances from accessible car parking spaces and local transport are available to view on our website here, https://www.scunthorpetheatres.co.uk/your-visit/find-us/ Within the venues, all facilities are within a short distance of one another. We have hand rails on our staircases and in our bar areas. If customers require additional support whilst visiting our venues, please ask a member of staff who will be happy to assist.
- We have accessible toilets in both venues which are easily located close to the entrance doors.
- We welcome assistance dogs at our events and if customers are planning to bring an assistance dog with them to our venue, then they can contact us prior to their visit, to discuss your requirements further. Our staff will make arrangements to make sure their dog can stay with them throughout their visit and that appropriate seating is allocated. Customer can do this by either contacting the Box Office or by clicking on the contact us link on our website. Our Assistance Dog policy can be read here: https://www.scunthorpetheatres.co.uk/download/assistance-dogs-policy/
- Where patrons with disabilities need a personal assistant to attend an event with them, the combined cost will be equivalent to the full cost of one ticket. To help us better understand your needs, we are working with Nimbus Disability, to make ticketing and access to Scunthorpe Theatres more inclusive for customers with accessibility requirements. Nimbus' experience in running the Access Card scheme will enable us to ensure that even more people are able to book access tickets at our venues, and that the right tickets are sold to those who are eligible.
- We can provide PDF versions of touring show programmes on request, which can then be printed in large print. We have large print bar menus available. We also have a visual story which can be provided when visiting The Baths Hall.
- We have hearing loops at the box office and in the auditorium at The Baths Hall. Some of our shows have BSL interpreters.
