Our Auditorium

The Priory Theatre has an intimate auditorium with 120 seats on two levels, with unrestricted views of the stage.

The circle is only accessible via two flights of stairs and is not recommended for those with restricted mobility. The stalls are accessible via either stairs or a lift from the main foyer. For patrons in wheelchairs, please contact us in advance to book your tickets via access@priorytheatre.co.uk or 01926 863334.

For customers with other mobility issues, we recommend selecting seats on row H as this row does not require the use of any steps. Each row forward of row H requires an additional step per row to access it.

An induction loop is available on rows B-G for patrons with hearing aids. This can be used by turning your hearing aid to the ‘T’ position.

Our Foyer, Bar & Coffee Shop

The Priory has a bar and coffee shop within our foyer, both of which will be open for our performances. The foyer has step-free access via a ramp to the right of the building. Our staff will be happy to assist you should you need support with ordering or carrying items, including bringing interval orders directly to your seat should you require this. Please speak to the duty manager or box office team on arrival if you require this support.
