When someone thinks of the theatre they might picture some of the bigger venues in the West End with various tiers and sloping aisles. As a result this will include many steps, making access for disabled patrons potentially troublesome. However, West End theatres are generally adapted to suit the needs of most visitors and websites can detail the specific arrangements that each theatre has in place. So if you wish to book theatre tickets to witness the latest play or musical then arrangements should be made to accommodate you, whatever your needs.
Often theatres have spaces for wheelchair users in the stalls area (the lowest level in front of the stage) of the auditorium. There are also transfer seats available in many theatres and this means that wheelchair users can be accommodated for performances. Likewise, those with limited mobility will find facilities such as stairlifts, disabled toilets and more to make the trip as easy as possible. In many cases, however, wheelchair users will be required to bring a non-disabled companion when visiting the venue and will need to inform the venue in advance of their arrival.
For the most part the West End is perfectly equipped to deal with many needs but they should check first before purchasing tickets at the box office or booking online. Also, read up on the facilities in place in advance and inform the venue of their needs in advance of their visit then they will be able to enjoy the show.
