The nearest designated accessible parking spaces are:

• Along Musk Ave on the street. Please note that the spaces are on an incline and access to the theatre may be difficult from this point.

Seating

The Roundhouse Theatre has a raised platform at the top of the theatre for wheelchair users (75mm high, raised over 730mm). Additional seats can be added to accommodate guests (space permitting). There is also a space for a wheelchair on stage level, seat AA10, with companion/no stairs seating next to them (seats AA7-9). Wheelchair users may transfer to fixed theatre seats if they choose, provided that permission is granted for La Boite staff to store their wheelchairs during the performance, where possible.

Fixed seats in the Roundhouse Theatre are accessed via stairs (16.5cm high, 27.5cm deep). Please note that due to the nature of the curved seating bank there is not a continuous hand rail. Patrons who wish to avoid stairs may book tickets in the Wheelchair/ No Stairs section of the theatre (these are available on the ticketing site). Patrons who wish to minimise the number of stairs navigated may book seats at the top or bottom of the theatre, or contact our box office team to discuss their requirements.

Patrons may request extra time to enter the theatre and navigate stairs/aisle prior to the doors being opened to the general public to assist with safety and comfort.

Restroom

An accessible restroom is available on Level 1 of the building, approximately 10m from the theatre doors.
