Anvil Arts Brochure

The events brochure is available in large print, Braille, and other formats upon request.

Access List

Anvil Arts operates an Access List in order to improve our service to patrons with access needs. The information you give us will help find you appropriate seats and save you time when you book in future. Wheelchair positions and any available disabled concessions will only be available to those on the Access List. You can join by downloading the registration form.

Booking Tickets

For booking tickets in person, there is level access to The Anvil and The Haymarket. Box office counters have drop-down or lowered sections for wheelchair users. A hearing assistance system (fixed loop) is in place.

Concessions: Registered patrons on the Access List are entitled to an adult concession price ticket at performances where available.

If you require continual supervision or assistance during your visit you may be eligible for a discounted Essential Carer ticket. The companion must be able to help the disabled person access the theatre and its facilities, remaining with them to ensure their wellbeing and comfort. Essential carer tickets (for adults aged 16 and over) cost one third of the full ticket price (rounded down to the nearest 25p).

Wheelchair Users and Mobility Scooters

We kindly request that mobility scooters are to be left and stored in our Box Office Foyer or cloakroom and not be brought into the foyer.

There are up to six wheelchair spaces available in The Anvil, and one in The Forge. We cannot sell wheelchair spaces or allow transfers out of wheelchairs into seats in the Circle at The Anvil. If you require the use of a mobility aid in the Circle, please contact our box office before your visit.

There are up to two wheelchair spaces available in The Haymarket. We cannot sell wheelchair spaces in the Circle. Due to the age and design of our buidling, wheelchair users must access the auditorium using the passenger lift (w:1090mm x l:1250mm, door opening:700mm). Emergency evacuation is via the same passenger emergency lift or staff operated evacuchair. Personal emergency evacuation plans can be made available upon request.

Hearing Enhancement

The Anvil and The Haymarket are equipped with infra-red hearing enhancement systems for use with headsets, or portable induction loops. Both are available from the stewards' point.

Assistance Dogs

Assistance dogs are welcome; please discuss suitability of seating areas at the time of booking.
