Disabled Provision

As our venues are currently standing only, we do not have provision for adequate disabled viewing, but we will try to accommodate guests with chairs/raised viewing where possible.
We will endeavour to facilitate an appropriate location so you can enjoy the gig. However, no arrangements can be guaranteed in advance.
Please call 0161 275 2930 to advise us of your requirements in advance of the show date.

Academy 1 is undergoing a major refurbishment and a key element of the plans is a disabled viewing platform, we are looking forward to re-opening the Academy soon. We also have plans to introduce a disabled viewing area in Academy 2, to be finished in 2008.
