    Step-free access?

    Yes, but it’s complicated: first, there’s a short set of steps, with an accessible lift to the right-hand side, which you’ll need to get a member of staff to help you with. Then there’s a pair of escalators up to the venue, again with an accessible lift on the right -hand side.

    Seating available?

    Yes.

    Wheelchair spaces provided?

    TBC

    Accessible toilets?

    There’s an accessible toilet in the main venue, but you need to ask a member of security or someone at the bar for the key.

    Car parking nearby?

    Despite what the HMV Empire website says, you can’t park at the Barracks – it closed in January 2025. Salt Lane Car Park is very close by though, and offers free parking for Blue Badge holders – you’ll need to use the buzzer to give your info on the way out. According to the car park’s website, there are 24 internal accessible spaces, with 7 external spaces on the ground floor for use by modified or high-sided disabled vehicles.

    Air conditioning?

    TBC

    Helpful staff?

    The website promises there’ll be First Aid trained bar and security staff on duty for all events.
