Section Accessibility
Front Stalls
The Front Stalls can be accessed step-free via the Royal Festival Hall Foyer's JCB lift, and once inside the auditorium, there are between one and two shallow steps up to each row in the section.
Six wheelchair spaces and companion seats are located across row A, and can be accessed through the Artists' Entrance on the Queen Elizabeth Hall slip road.
An accessible toilet is located in the foyer, with a further Changing Places toilet on Level 1 Royal Festival Hall. The Changing Places toilet can be accessed using the JCB lift, with a key available from the Welcome Hub on Level 2, Royal Festival Hall.
Rear Stalls
The Rear Stalls can be accessed via the JCB lift up to Level 2, although the steps between rows are slightly steeper here than the Front Stalls. The back rows are therefore not recommended for patrons with limited mobility.
There are six wheelchair spaces in the side blocks of row AA, with companion seats available. Visitors can access all wheelchair spaces through the Artists' Entrance on the Queen Elizabeth Hall slip road.
Toilet facilities for the Rear Stalls are in line with those for the Front Stalls.
