Rig plan.jpg |
| Get In: |
| The unloading bay is in front of the theatre and the get in is at the rear. As it is not possible to get a vehicle to the dock doors, everything has to be carried or wheeled down the flat side alley that runs along the theatre. There is paved and ramped access all along the get in route. Any companies with a tight get in should allow for the transportation of set/props/costumes etc. The dock doors are standard fire exit double door size. |
| Parking: |
There are no parking spaces for the theatre but there are 3 pay and display car parks and meter parking within walking distance.
