Accessibility

We try hard to ensure that Durham Book Festival is accessible to all:

All events will be live-captioned by Stagetext. 

Events from the Gala will be live-streamed.  

If you require a BSL interpreter we will endeavour to provide this. Please inform the Box Office staff when booking your tickets. We will need minimum two weeks’ advance notice. 

Gala Theatre access information:

There are lifts to all levels and accessible toilets located throughout.

Wheelchair spaces are available – if using a wheelchair, please just advise the Box Office when booking to ensure your seats or spaces are allocated accordingly. 

For disabled customers who need a little more help, we offer a personal assistant ticket free of charge, please ask at Box Office. 

Assistance dogs are welcome at Gala Durham. 

Gala Theatre operates the Sennheiser infrared amplification system in the main auditorium – headsets are available at Box Office. 

Clayport Library access information:

Clayport Library has public lifts, accessible toilets and a loop system installed.
