FAQ - Disability access

• What facilities are there for disabled people at the theatre?

  We want as many people as possible to experience theatre at its best at the RSC. As well as having wheelchair and transfer seats for all our shows, we keep front row seats free for people who have difficulties seeing or hearing, and we run assisted performances for all our shows. 

  Find out more information about access.

• Is there parking for disabled people available?

  There are disabled parking bays opposite the theatre and in the surrounding streets. For a map of disabled parking in Stratford-upon-Avon visit the Accessible Stratford-upon-Avon website.

  For more information on our location, parking and maps see Getting Here.

• Can I book online using the discount for disabled people?

  To use your discount online we ask you complete a form, setting out your ticket requirements. You can find a link to this form - labelled 'disability access booking form' - in the bottom left of the page for selecting seats once you have selected the play you'd like to see and the date you'd like to see it on. We aim to turn around your request in six working hours. We're sorry but you can't use your discount directly via the main online booking system at the moment.

• Is the discount for disabled people available at all performances?

  Yes, there are no restrictions on when you can use the discount.

• Do you offer captioning and audio description at all performances?

  Unfortunately as both types of performance are delivered live, at the moment resources don't allow us to offer this service at every performance.

• When are the captioned and audio described performances?

  There is a list of all upcoming assisted performances. For more information about the assisted performance of the production you're coming to see please go to your chosen performance in What's On and Buy Tickets and follow the link to Access performance 

• Can I bring my assistance dog to the theatre?

  Yes of course, we are happy to accommodate all assistance dogs. You can either take them into the theatre or they can be looked after by our staff. Please tell the box office when you book your ticket if you want to bring your dog with you.
