Accessibility
Accessibility
While the main church at St John’s is accessible to all, the balcony is not recommended to anyone with mobility issues.
Buxton Opera House has three spaces available for wheelchair users located in the stalls and there are also spaces available for wheelchair users in the front row of the Pavilion Arts Centre. To request a space with your booking and to reserve a free ticket for carers, please call the Box Office on 01298 72190.
Parking
There are 8 disabled car parking bays on the lower level of the Pavilion Gardens car park off Burlington Road. This is approximately 320 metres away from Buxton Opera House and 160 metres away from the Pavilion Arts Centre/Buxton Cinema.
Assistance Dogs
Assistance dogs are welcome in Buxton Opera House and Pavilion Arts Centre. Please talk to the box office about any special requirements when booking.
Help with hearing
An induction loop system is available at the counter of both Box Offices in Buxton Opera House and Pavilion Arts Centre.
There are a limited number of passive infra-red (PIR) systems in both Buxton Opera House and Pavilion Arts Centre. These work through a special headset, rather than your hearing aid, which is available from the Box Office at Buxton Opera House. Please reserve one when booking your ticket over the phone – a £10 cash deposit is required on collection.
Toilet facilities
Accessible toilets are available in both Buxton Opera House and Pavilion Arts Centre.
