Facilities at The Playhouse

Concessionary Car Parking by arrangement with Preston City Council is available in the Trinity Square Car Park, which is directly opposite The Playhouse, between 6pm and midnight on show nights.

Pick up a Parking Voucher from the Box Office to display in your car.

Each voucher costs £2 (payable by cash or card) on production of a valid ticket for the current season but each voucher is then valid for the whole season. Simply display the voucher on your dashboard each time you park for a show.

£2 is a small price for free parking for every show in the season (worth over £75 if you were to attend every show) but it helps us enormously.

The car park is often very busy so it is advisable to arrive early if you can

We have 2 spaces for wheelchair users on the front row in the auditorium and facilities for disabled visitors.

There are 3 small steps down into the bar from the foyer and a further step up for the auditorium. The toilets are on the same level as the auditorium.

Direct access to the auditorium through the theatre car park for wheelchair users or those that have difficulty walking can be arranged. Please let the box office know in advance if possible.

We suggest wheelchair users arrive at the theatre no later than 20 minutes prior to the start of the performance. Please make yourselves known to our box office volunteers on arrival.

The wheelchair spaces and an adjoining seat for a companion can be booked by telephoning the Box Office on 01772 252288

Please note that it is not possible to “park” a wheelchair and use a regular seat if you are a wheelchair user. This is for Health & Safety reasons on the advice of the Emergency Services in the event that we have to evacuate the auditorium in an emergency

Assistance dogs are allowed inside the auditorium by prior agreement. Patrons must advise our box office volunteers at the time of booking and book an aisle seat.

Please contact the Box Office prior to a show if you need assistance

We have a hearing loop for visitors who are hard of hearing.

We have a fully licenced bar offering a wide range of alcoholic and soft drinks as well as sweets, chocolate and snacks.

It is usually open prior to the show, during the interval (where there is one) and after the show.

You can order your drinks for the interval (if appropriate) when you arrive.

If you have special requirements or need any further assistance please let us know by contacting the box office in advance of the show. We look forward to welcoming you to The Playhouse soon!
