Our house is open... to everyone! The Swindon Arts Centre is proud to be a welcoming and accessible venue for all to enjoy. We will always endeavour to support all our patrons to access and enjoy our events. Below you can find a variety of information to help you plan your visit.
Infrared Listening System
We offer a wireless infra-red (Sennheiser) system for those who are hard of hearing. This technology uses an invisible infra-red light to connect the sound source and the listener. We provide two different types of Sennheiser infrared receivers to be worn by the listener, there is a choice between the stethoset type or necklace type. These items are free to collect from the Ticket Office.

For those who require assistance to attend either venue, we offer one complimentary carer ticket with your booking. (Verification is required).
We ask patrons with wheelchairs to note that Wheelchair spaces are designed for standard size wheelchairs – if you have a larger size wheelchair please advise when booking.
