Accessible Arena Information

A raised accessible viewing platform is provided for customers who are wheelchair users, or who have health conditions or other disabilities where they have to remain seated for long periods of time. This is situated 50m from the accessible entrance on natural grass. There is an incline up a slope to the platform. The platform is located approximately 75m from the stage.  All places on the accessible viewing platform must be pre-booked. The platform has a non-slip surface and is double level, with access ramps. 

A grass viewing area is provided alongside the raised platform for customers who have health conditions or other disabilities and need a less crowded area and access to the accessible toilets.The grass surface will be un-even. Due to the topography of Delamere this area is not recommended for wheelchair users.  Wheelchair users should book space on the raised viewing platform.  

There will not be an unrestricted sight line of the stage in the grass viewing area, as there will be customers in front of the grass viewing area who are likely to be standing up.  All places in the grass viewing area must be pre-booked. 

Registered assistance dogs are permitted, but the live sound may disturb them. No other dogs are allowed on site.

Lasers and strobe lighting may be used as part of the performance.
