    Website:

    https://www.revolutionprowrestling.com/shows

    Venues:

    They run several venues in different parts of the country, including The 229 in London, 1865 in Southampton, Network in Sheffield, HMV Empire in Coventry, Doncaster Dome, Crystal Palace and York Hall in London.

    Accessible tickets offered?

    Not directly from their ticket booking site, no – we’re investigating whether they’re otherwise available.

    Carer tickets provided?

    Again, not directly from their ticket booking site – we’re investigating.

    Easy to contact?

    They don’t have a great reputation for answering questions about accessibility (or anything else!). You might have better luck going directly to the venues. There is a contact page on the RevPro website and they are still active on X, which might be worth a shot.

    Any other info:

    RevPro has its own streaming service, and most shows are streamed live (venue internet connection dependent!). It costs £7.40 per month.

    We’re currently unaware of any other accessibility provisions they might offer.

    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.

    What people told us:

    “Crystal Palace Sports Centre has seating so cramped it made me feel claustrophobic and I nearly had to leave”

    “Crystal Palace National Sports Centre has tiered seats that are completely unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues or chronic pain. Even as someone able-bodied they were agony after about 15 minutes!”

    We’ve also been told that the backless bench seating is the worst, while some of the other seating options are not as bad.

    Car parking nearby?

    York Hall itself has accessible parking, but other than that, the nearest public parking is almost a mile away.

    Air conditioning?

    No – and it can get extremely hot in there.

    Helpful staff?

    In the past, we’ve seen a lot of complaints about the security staff provided by York Hall, including comments that they refused to let people take necessary medications in with them.

    More recently, people have reported having better experiences (not having sunscreen or medication confiscated, for example) so let’s hope this means things will be better in future.

    Your next nearest car parking option is Church Lane car park, which is 0.3 miles away.

    Be careful when getting directions to either – there are similarly named car parks further away!

    No – they open the side doors to create a breeze instead.

    What people told us:

    “The Hangar is a great venue full stop. Very accommodating and a lot more seating!”

    Other notes:

    Although this will vary depending on the event, we’ve had multiple reports of flashing lights being used at The Hangar which can trigger photosensitive epilepsy.
