The Royal Shakespeare Company offers a range of services for patrons with disabilities including captioned, signed and audio described performances.
Accessible to all
Our philosophy is to make everything we do accessible to all our audience. Although the age of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and Swan Theatre buildings mean that it isn't possible for people in wheelchairs or with mobility problems to reach all parts of these theatres we have made many adjustments which we hope will enhance both access and enjoyment of the Company's work.
The new Courtyard Theatre has a lift to the Circle level. For more information please visit our Theatre Access pages.
The Royal Shakespeare Company offers a range of additional services for patrons including large print information and newsletters. To join the access newsletter list please email access@rsc.org.uk
