THEATRE FACILITIES
WHEELCHAIR ACCESS
Olivier Stalls Foyer: Level on 2
Access is via the main lifts or by stairs. From here, you can also go outside to the Baylis Terrace via two ramps. The Box Office and Information Desk are open two hours before Olivier performances, and the bookstall and two bars one hour before.
From Level 2, there’s flat access to five wheelchair spaces at the back of the Stalls. The back row (R) is one small step up, next to the accessible seating, and there are 25 steps down to row A at the front. There’s no handrail on the centre aisle. The side Stalls are raised and will be awkward for anyone with limited mobility. There’s an accessible toilet on the way into the auditorium.
Olivier Circle Foyer: Level 3 The entrance to seating in the Circle is on this level, as well as the Circle Bar and ‘Stage by Stage’, a permanent exhibition on the National’s history. There’s also a bar and small seating area, a chair lift down to the Olivier Cafe and access to the outside terrace (via one deep step). The Ashcroft Room, for private functions, is also on Level 3. Olivier Circle Seating: Level 3 There is level access from the entrance to row G at the back, with 18 steps down to row A at the front. The Circle steps are quite steep with handrails on all aisles.
