    Step-free access?

    The main entrance is flush with the pavement, and there’s a sloped entrance beyond that. The mezzanine is only accessible via stairs, but the ground floor is all step-free. It’s worth noting, though, that Irk Street is a cobbled street, which may present some difficulty.

    Seating available?

    Yes.

    Wheelchair spaces provided?

    Yes – chairs can be moved, so wheelchair users can choose their space. The bars are also wheelchair accessible.

    Accessible toilets?

    There’s one inside The Shed; the toilets in The Club courtyard have a step up.

    Car parking nearby?

    There’s no car park at the venue, but NCP Manchester on Gould Street is 0.2 miles away, and Bankpark on Gould Street is 0.1 miles away. Both car parks are open 24 hours, but don’t have designated accessible spaces.

    Passengers can be dropped off in front of the venue, but there’s no drop curb here.

    Air conditioning?

    TBC.

    Helpful staff?

    Yes.

    Other info:

    It’s worth emailing info@fscmcr.co.uk if you’re planning to go, so they can be prepared for any accessibility issues you might have.
