The Majestic Theatre is committed to ensuring that all of its patrons are able to participate fully and access events with dignity, respect and equality.

Wheelchairs 

We have wheelchair spaces and level access to the stalls and the Box Office. To the right of the main entrance, a push bell on the wall by the steps alerts our staff to open the fire door for access. We provide four wheelchair spaces in the stalls area with seating alongside for partners or carers. You may transfer from a wheelchair to a seat on arrival as long as in the unlikely event of an emergency you are able to exit the building without the use of a wheelchair. Bookings for wheelchair spaces are through Box Office only, and can not be purchased using our online service.

Toilet

An accessible disabled toilet is available in the stalls.

Circle & Boxes

Unfortunately due to the age and layout of the Majestic we do not have a lift to access the Circle and Boxes seating area. There are two sets of stairs up to the Circle and then steep steps down to the front of the Circle and the Boxes. Therefore it is strongly advisable for patrons who are able bodied to access this area.

Mobility scooters

If a patron comes to the theatre on a mobility scooter the patron needs to transfer to a suitable seat. There is limited space to 'park' it during the performance. Please discuss your specific requirements with the Box Office staff when booking tickets.

Assistance dogs

Assistance dogs are welcome, – please advise Box Office in advance when booking tickets.

Essential Carer Assistance Scheme

The Essential Carer Assistance Scheme is offered to those customers who, within the scope of The Equality Act 2010* is able to help the person with a disability, by the means of mobility or guidance and to use and enjoy the services/facilities at the Majestic Theatre.

Carers are expected to be responsible for the disabled customer at all times during the visit, please speak to our Front of House team for information on our facilities and evacuation procedures.

Membership is free and valid for a period of three years. If you qualify under the Scheme your carer will be entitled to a free ticket to accompany you, subject to availability.

 *The Equality Act 2010 – ‘A person has a disability if he or she has a physical or mental impairment, which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on his or her ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities.’

Please note that the membership scheme is not open to, or intended for, those who simply require a companion / friend to assist with transportation to and from the venue.

Please also note, that the nominated carer must be seated with/next to the qualifying person.

Babies In Arms

‘All children age 2-16 require a ticket and will have a seat allocated to them. Children under 2 will be issued with a free ‘babes in arms’ ticket and will sit on the parents/carers/gaurdians lap (if the show is suitable.) Please note some shows issue a recommended age, and is stated on our bookings website.

*Due to the limited space in the theatre we are sorry but we cannot accept prams or pushchairs unless it’s an exceptional case. Some larger addapted chairs or buggies may need to book a wheelchair space, if mobility is an issue.

Please check this with box office when booking tickets.

We ask that you take your child out of the auditorium if they are spoiling the enjoyment of other patrons. 

Thank you for your understanding.
