Moving around the building
- We have an automatic door at the main entrance that leads to the Visitors' Book Café and Workers' Bar, as well as the Main Space and our other performance and events spaces.
- There’s level access throughout the building, including through to floor-level seats in the Fireworks Factory and into the Café. Our outdoor courtyard also has level access, but does have a stone chip surface covering the centre of the space. These should be navigable in a wheelchair, it's just worth noting as we appreciate everyone has different needs.
- There are three lifts in the building to allow access to our studios and performance spaces on the first floor.
- Our café is dog-friendly except during evening shows, and guide and assistance dogs are welcome in all spaces. If you’d like to bring your guide dog to a performance, please let us know when booking and we can either book a space, or provide a staff member to look after your guide dog.
- Our team are here to support people with access needs wherever possible, and we have worked with Attitude is Everything to ensure that Woolwich Works is an accessible venue. We’re also a Disability Confident employer.
Access Systems
- There are hearing assistance systems in the Fireworks Factory, smaller performance spaces, rehearsal studios, box office and bars.
