Our team is committed to providing a safe and inclusive environment, and we welcome the opportunity to make your visit as comfortable and secure as possible.
Joining the Kings Place Access Scheme will allow you to book access tickets online at any time and specify any access requirements that you would like our team to be aware of.
If you have specific access requirements that may affect your ability to evacuate safely in an emergency, such as using a large or powered wheelchair, being unable to manage stairs, or requiring assistance to transfer, we kindly ask that you contact us at info@kingsplace.co.uk in advance of your visit. This allows us to work with you to develop a Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP) tailored to your needs, ensuring appropriate support and arrangements are in place.

Crinan Street also has one single bay with a yellow line, where Blue badge holders can park for up to three hours, providing the clock card is displayed and set at the time of arrival. Please ensure that your badge, and if applicable your clock, are displayed on the dashboard with all information clearly visible.

Joining the Kings Place Access Scheme will allow you to book access tickets online at any time and specify any access requirements that you would like our team to be aware of. Please be assured that if you do not wish to join our Access Scheme, we can still offer you these ticket types and seats, but booking will need to take place over the phone or in person with our box office team.
Kings Place offers an essential companion ticket for disabled customers who require additional support or assistance to facilitate their visit and who would be otherwise unable to attend our events. This complimentary ticket is available to book online for those who have joined our Access Scheme or you can book this over the phone or in-person with our box office team during opening hours.
Hall One is the largest of our venues and seats 420 people. The Stalls floor of Hall One is situated on the Concert level (level -2, basement level) and the Balcony floor is situated on the Gallery level (level -1, basement level). These floors can be reached via the main lift in the ground floor foyer. When attending a concert in Hall One the level and door you will need are printed on your ticket.
From the Concert level there is flat access to the two wheelchair user spaces at the back of the stalls, via the stalls east or stalls west doors. There is sloped access to the two wheelchair user spaces at the front of the stalls. If you wish to avoid the slope to the wheelchair spaces at the front of the stalls, please ask a member of staff to assist you in reaching the access lift. There are no steps to any seats in the stalls.
There are 7 steps from the outer balcony door to the inner balcony door, and there is a platform lift to the inner door for wheelchair users or audience members with limited mobility. The balcony wheelchair user space is reached through the Balcony north inner door, and there is flat access to the wheelchair user space. Please note that row CC is accessed via a single step.
Both Hall Two and the St Pancras Room have level access from the Concert level foyer. Flexible seating means that wheelchair users can be accommodated depending on their preference.
More information about seating, including dimensions and leg room, can be found here.
Please mention your requirements when booking seats so we can try and seat you towards the front of the auditorium.
A magnetic induction loop is available in Hall One and the St Pancras Room. To use this induction loop, audience members should switch their hearing aids to the ‘T’ position in order to pick up the magnetic signal.
In Hall One and Hall Two, audience members who do not use a hearing aid (or whose hearing aids do not have a ‘T’ setting) can access our infrared system via a necklace receiver and headset. In Hall Two, audience members whose hearing aids have a ‘T’ setting can access the infrared system by using a receiver necklace and a mini/personal magnetic loop. Audience members should switch their hearing aids to the ‘T’ position to pick up the personal loop’s signal. Receivers, headsets and personal loops can be requested on the day from any member of our Front of House team or pre-arranged for collection by contacting the Box Office team in advance.
Visitors are welcome to take assistance dogs into the Halls or they can be left with a designated member of staff who will provide fresh drinking water and a comfortable place to reside whilst you enjoy the performance. Please inform the Box Office team if you would like your dog to remain with you in the auditorium during the performance, and we can advise the best seating location. We also welcome participating in assistance dog training.
Performer access requirements are addressed as part of our standard production process.
If you have any specific requirements or additional queries please contact our Box Office staff before your visit by email to this address: info@kingsplace.co.uk.
