Wheelchair access is via a ramp to the front right-hand entrance next to the Box Office, which has a push-plate automatic door; the main auditorium is on one level, though there is no step-free access upstairs. Accessible seating is offered at the ends of rows B, C, L and M and in parts of row P depending on the show, and there are two wheelchair-accessible toilets with grab rails and an emergency cord near the bar. An induction loop is fitted in the main auditorium (switch hearing aids to the T position), and sensory kits such as ear defenders are available. There is no dedicated parking directly outside; the nearest Blue Badge bays are on St Leonard's Lane. Staff are happy to help in advance on 0131 668 2019 or info@queenshalledinburgh.org.
