Cloakroom facilities are available, but space is limited so please travel lightly and leave large bags and backpacks at home.

We know some patrons will not be able to pay with card and we will always have cash facilities available for exceptional circumstances.

Wheelchair access
In the Stalls, row W has removable seats to accommodate patrons who
wish to remain seated in their wheelchair or transfer to a theatre seat.
Please contact BASS on 131 246 or advise the operator when you are booking tickets if you require a wheelchair loan during your visit.
Booked wheelchairs can be collected at your venue concierge desk from 60 minutes pre-show and must be returned within 20 minutes of the show finishing. Patrons will be required to leave a driver's licence, credit card, or government-issued photo ID as a deposit until the wheelchair is returned. Wheelchairs must not be taken off-site. Please coordinate patron pick-up and drop-off locations accordingly.
Except in emergency situations, we cannot provide staff to assist with patron wheelchair use.
Hearing assistance packs
Audience members who require hearing assistance are now able to enjoy the show via the Beyerdynamic Hearing System.
In the Festival Theatre, Her Majesty’s Theatre, Dunstan Playhouse and Space Theatre, patrons may borrow a small transmitter pack with the choice of either an inductive neck loop (for use with a hearing aid with a T-setting) or a set of headphones (for patrons without a hearing aid or a hearing aid without a T-Setting) to amplify the performance. Patrons may also bring their own headphones if they desire.
Transmitter packs are available on a first-come-first-served basis. Patrons should arrive at least half an hour before the performance to collect their pack from the venue's information or concierge desk. Patrons will be required to leave a driver's licence or some form of photo ID as a deposit until the pack is returned.
Hearing loop
At Her Majesty's Theatre, hearing loop facilities are available in foyer areas.
