At the Beck Theatre, we are committed to making every visit comfortable and enjoyable. 

From assisted performances to accessibility adjustments within the venue. We strive to meet your needs so that everyone can fully enjoy our space.

You can find information about parking spaces for Blue Badge holders, our car park and transport routes on our Getting Here page.

The Beck Theatre Access Scheme is free to join and helps us better understand your access requirements, ensuring we can support you during your visit. In cases where reasonable adjustments cannot be made, the scheme also allows for a companion ticket to be purchased at a reduced rate. By providing this information, you help us create a more accessible and inclusive experience for all our audiences.

A theatre experience with adjusted sound levels, no pyrotechnics or strobe lighting, and dimmed house lights. Loud announcements and hand dryers are removed, and earplugs or defenders are available. Guests can enter and exit freely, with a quiet area provided for breaks.

Our dementia-friendly screenings differ from regular cinema showings. House Lights are kept up for better visibility. Seating is unreserved, except wheelchair spaces. Tickets include free tea and biscuits after the film to encourage socialising.

During these performances, dialogue is incorporated with live commentary. The purpose of this is to explain what is happening on stage via a headset. We can also provide Touch Tours prior to the show which you can book in with our Box Office team.

For those who are deaf or hard of hearing, select performances display text on screens, allowing audiences to read along. These captions provide dialogue, sound effects, and other key audio elements to enhance the experience.

For those theatre performances a British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter stands to the side of the stage to interpret the show. To book tickets with the highest visibility of the interpreter we would recommend booking directly with our Box Office team.

If you’re attending with an assistance dog, please call in advance so we can arrange suitable seating. Assistance animals are expected to be suitably trained and appropriately insured.

Walking aids can be stored under seats or by staff upon request.

Touch Tours are available for visually impaired patrons or those with sensory processing disorders. These tours allow visitors to explore the stage, touch costumes and props, and gain a better understanding of the performance. Familiarisation Visits are available to help patrons get accustomed to the venue before attending a performance. To arrange a pre-show visit please contact our Box Office team.

An Induction Loop System is available in the Box Office and auditorium. Visitors using hearing aids should switch to the ‘T’ setting and adjust volume as needed. For the best experience, we recommend seating in Row D.
