Access and Auditorium for Wheelchairs

We have 3 to 6 wheelchair spaces (depending on show layout) for patrons who need to remain in their chair throughout the duration of the performance. These can be booked via the Booking Office either by phone or in person. If you are able to transfer to a theatre seat, then we recommend booking Row F. We are happy to store your wheelchair during the performance.

For groups of 4 or more, we are unable to seat you on the same row when you require an accessible seat as part of your group, and in the this circumstance, we recommend you book seats in blocks using Row W and Row D or Row W and Row F. If you need assistance choosing the best seats, please get in touch.

Please ensure you book these spaces in advance. We cannot guarantee availability on the day of a performance or at the box office before a show.

If you register for the Blackburn Empire Access Register, you can also book these online. The areas are shown on Row W on the seating plan.
