Accessibility
We want everyone to be able to come to the Brewery to enjoy memorable experiences. Our building is very old and unique, however we have made every effort during its development to ensure all areas and activities are accessible to everyone.
Below are some of the facilities we have to aid accessibility. If you have any further queries please contact Box Office who will assist you or forward your enquiry to the relevant person.

We have a ramp outside the building to enable visitors to access the cinema and upper levels of the main building externally. The Box Office has a lower surface area for the customers’ convenience.

Visits to the performance venue prior to an event can be arranged with prior notice. Assistance and Guide Dogs are welcome Assistance will be given if requested when queuing. Assistance may be; portable chairs, priority access or the option of moving to a seated area until access is available.
We will seek to make ‘reasonable adjustments’ in order to accommodate any visitor to the centre. Before instigating any adjustments we would consider: the amount of disruption caused by making the adjustment; the amount of time available; the financial implications and the health and safety of others.
