\r\n\r\nLeicester Square Theatre is a listed building, located in the basement of the Notre Dame de France church on Leicester Place, and as such access is fairly limited.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThere are fourteen steps down to the main foyer and then a further six steps down to the auditorium itself, which is all on one level. All staircases have a handrail. The building has been adapted where possible to allow for greater accessibility, but we do not have a wheelchair lift at the main entrance. However, we do have a separate entrance that offers a more direct route into the main auditorium and is equipped with a platform lift (please be aware the lift has a total weight limit of 300kg). Please note, due to health and safety regulations we cannot permit any customers to stand on the platform, and therefore the platform lift is only suitable for wheelchair users. To use this entrance, customers must be booked in advance with us. Wheelchair users must arrive 30 minutes before the performance begins in order to ensure there is sufficient time to get to the seats safely and comfortably. The platform lift is limited to two uses per show.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWithin the auditorium, we have two wheelchair spaces available in our Side Stalls Right; one which allows the customer to stay in their wheelchair and one which allows the customer to transfer to a theatre seat. Please note to use the theatre seat the customer must be able to walk the few steps from the bottom of the wheelchair platform lift to the seat.\u00a0\u00a0We will discuss any requirements you may have or assistance you may need when you email or phone our Box Office Team to make your booking.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAn accessible toilet and two bars are located within the auditorium.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n
