Access

We want to make your visit to the Royal Exchange as enjoyable as possible and we aim to cater for everyone’s needs. 

Alongside discounted tickets for disabled patrons, we offer a range of accessible performances, including Audio Described, British Sign Language Interpreted and STAGETEXT captioned performances. 

If you require our BSL, Audio Described or Captioned services, please book directly with Box Office. This is because there are often specific seats, which are held for each show to ensure you have the best experience possible.

You can call on 0161 833 9833 or email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
