Carmel ThomasonTheatre by the Lake
Every summer, across its two theatre spaces, Theatre by the Lake produces an alternating programme which enables visitors to see several plays in a weekend, as well as hosting a series of literature, jazz and film events. There’s a huge car park next to the theatre with several disabled parking bays outside the entrance. There are excellent facilities for access, and relaxed performances programmed with chill-out spaces.
If organised in advance, auditorium seating can be removed to create wheelchair spaces; for people on the autism spectrum pre-performance touch tours and familiarisation tours can be booked; infra-red handsets are available from the reception for people with hearing impairments; and there are scheduled captioned and audio-described performances. Assistance dogs are welcome, and you can request audio and large print versions of the programme.
