https://buxtonoperahouse.org.uk/visit-us/access
"The Opera House is a beautiful Edwardian building that is only partially accessible to wheelchair users. The wheelchair entrance is 72cms at its narrowest point. We have three wheelchair spaces in the Stalls area on the ground floor and an accessible toilet. The Stalls bar is not accessible by wheelchair, but one of our lovely volunteers will be happy to bring refreshments to your seat.
The Opera House Foyer and Box Office counter are not accessible by wheelchair, but there is wheelchair access to the side Box Office door (on Water St), with an intercom system to alert staff. The Dress Circle and Upper Circle levels are not wheelchair accessible and can only be reached by climbing the stairs. The building is not accessible by motorised scooter.
We have passive infra-red (PIR) systems in both the Opera House & Pavilion Arts Centre/Buxton Cinema for people with hearing impairments. This works through a special headset rather than your hearing aid and is available from the theatre. Please reserve one when you book your tickets (a £10 cash deposit on the night is required). There is also an induction loop system at both Box Offices.
We sometimes offer BSL Interpreted performances for productions including our annual pantomime. Please check individual listings and let box office know where you would prefer to sit, directly in front of the interpreter or on the opposite side, looking across the stage.
We offer regular screenings with Subtitles at Buxton Cinema.
