Access Information

We are always striving to make our venue as accessible as possible whilst working within the constraints of the building. Accessibility information is listed below – if you need any more information, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.

E-mails will usually receive a response within two working days. For more urgent enquiries please call the venue directly on 0161 237 9485 and the on-shift bar manager will be able to help you.

Venue Description

The whole venue is on one level, but there is a single step at the front of the building. A portable ramp is available from Gullivers across the road if required. There is no accessible toilet, but customers are welcome to use the accessible toilet at Gullivers if needed.

Listings information is available on our website – please contact the venue directly if you require this in an alternative format and we will do our best to accommodate this.

There isn’t a dedicated lowered bar area, but customers who may require one are welcome to use the side entrance of the bar (normally marked ‘no service’), and our staff will come and serve you from there.

Travel Guide

Taxis are able to pick up and drop off directly outside the venue.

The venue is well served by public transport and it is approximately 400 metres from Piccadilly Gardens and 450 metres from Shudehill Interchange, where there are buses and trams to many parts of the city.

For more information on accessible local transport options, we recommend the Transport for Greater Manchester Journey Planner which can be found here. Manchester City Council also offer a searchable database of disabled parking bays, here.

Bookable Access Facilities & How To Apply

Free tickets for Personal Assistants are available – please contact the event’s promoter directly or the venue to arrange this.

Events may be seated or standing, but chairs are always available on request and we will place these at the front of the venue so that you have a clear view of the stage. Please contact us ahead of the show if you would like us to arrange this for you. If you have booked seating, you are welcome to arrive 15 minutes before doors to allow you to sit down without having to move through a crowd. Queue jump is also available for customers who require it.

Arrival Guide

When you arrive at the venue, please speak to the bar staff who will be your first point of contact for any enquiries. All our staff have been trained on venue accessibility and will be able to help. If you have booked seating or other facilities, the bar staff will be aware of this and can direct you to them.

Ticketing for events is handled by the event promoters themselves rather than the venue. For most events, the promoter will provide a box office or door person who will be available at the entrance to the venue.

Toilets

There is no accessible toilet in the venue, but customers are welcome to use the accessible toilet at Gullivers across the road if needed.

Customers with Medical Requirements

Customers are welcome to bring medicines, medical equipment, food or drink as required to manage a medical condition. Please contact us if you have any issues or concerns.
