NBT Swan Lake & Mixed Programme (Theatre)

The Royal Centre is an exciting entertainment complex in the heart of the East Midlands, where the refinement and elegance of the Victorian Theatre Royal contrasts with the modern, stylish splendour of the Royal Concert Hall.

Theatre Royal Access Information

The main entrance to the theatre is an impressive Victorian portico with six pillars. The portico shelters five sets of heavy double doors which open outwards.

The far left hand door of the Theatre’s main entrance is ramped and automated to enable easier access into the foyer. These doors open outwards. All other doors will stay open if pushed against the walls.

Customers may also enter the building via the stalls bar entrance on South Sherwood Street, opposite the main entrance to the Concert Hall. Please be aware that at certain times the bar can be extremely busy and so we recommend using the main entrance when possible.

Both entrances lead into the Theatre’s main foyer which contains the access desk, sweet kiosk, cloakroom, toilets, stalls bar and box office.
Level access to the Theatre’s auditorium is through the Stalls Right entrance, located in the main foyer.

The Theatre’s wheelchair spaces are located at the rear of the auditorium, which on occasion can lead to a restricted view of the stage.

Should customers wish to transfer from a wheelchair to a seat they may do so and we will store their chair in the foyer for them.

We regret there is no lift available to customers in the Theatre Royal but we do endeavour to accommodate all our visitors.

An adapted toilet is available for customers with disabilities. This is located in the main foyer, just past the cloakroom.

Customer toilets are located in the main foyer, on the left hand side, between the cloakroom desk and stalls bar.

Further customer toilets are located on the upper circle level of the Theatre.


Royal Concert Hall Access Information

This building is blue with large glass panels and doors. The door on the far right of the main entrance is automated and opens outwards.

From South Sherwood Street there is level access into the Royal Concert Hall’s main entrance. The door on the far right of the main entrance is automated and opens outwards.

Ramped Access is available from Burton Street, leading directly to the stalls foyer level.

The main entrance foyer contains the cloakroom, box office and lift. The stalls level (level 1) contains the lift, bar, auditorium entrances, sweet kiosk and toilets.

The Royal Concert Hall’s wheelchair spaces are located on the right hand side of the auditorium, with some spaces located at the rear and some on the ends of rows further towards the stage.

Due to the limited number of wheelchair spaces within the Royal Concert Hall, we recommend booking a space as soon as possible.

The upper levels are accessible by lift but there are stairs to be negotiated in order to reach seating.
