Physical accessibility
You can indicate if you have specific access requirements during the booking process, where you can let us know if you need an aisle seat, a seat near the front, or a wheelchair space. We have a lift for people to use to access the theatre space. Make yourself known to a member of staff or volunteer when you arrive, and we will help you access the theatre.
What time do the auditorium doors open?
Our auditorium opens 30 minutes before each performance starts, giving you plenty of time to find your seats.
What time does the show finish?
Before the final dress rehearsal it's very hard to say exactly how long a show is, and we wouldn't want to give you incorrect information. We add the running time to our website and social media feeds as soon as possible so do check there.
How old do you have to be to come to the theatre by yourself?
Children under the age of 16 years must be accompanied by an adult. Children aged 16 years can come to the theatre without an adult, but cannot be responsible for younger children.
Does a baby/toddler need a ticket?
Babes in Arms entry is free for children up to two years old who will not need their own seat.
How many wheelchair spaces are available in the auditorium?
Theatre@41 is a flexible space and we make every effort to accommodate as many wheelchair users as possible.
Can you book wheelchair spaces online?
The best way to book a wheelchair space is to speak to one of our Box Office team so they can make sure that you have a good view of the stage and you and your friends can all sit together. Email us at boxoffice@41monkgate.co.uk
Is there a passenger lift in the building?
Yes. There is a lift from the ground floor to the first floor auditorium. Unfortunately the balcony can only be accessed by steps.
Do you have Accessible performances for Blind and Deaf / Hard of Hearing Audiences?
Details of any BSL (British Sign Language) interpreted performances for Deaf / Hard of Hearing Audiences will be available for each production. We are working hard for funding to introduce Captioned performances and infrared facilities for some Theatre@41 productions.
Is there a bar and what are the bar opening times?
Yes. We have a fully licensed bar. The bar is situated in the auditorium and open half an hour before each performance and during the interval.
