Accessibility
The Grand Opera House is dedicated to making the arts accessible to all.
Both the Theatre and the programme at the Grand Opera House have been designed with access at their heart.
The Theatre's foyer entrance has automated doors which lead to a step-free route to the Stalls. There are nine wheelchair positions in the Stalls and two on the Upper Circle. The Box Office and Bar Areas feature accessible height counters.
A brand-new and enlarged lift car has been installed and wider, hold-open doors have been fitted on all floors at entrances to the auditorium which now enjoys a state-of-the-art loop system. Accessible toilet facilities are available on the ground, first and second floors of the Theatre, and are equipped with grab rails, sink lever-operated taps, low-level mirrors and pull cord alarms.
