Liverpool Philharmonic has recently undergone a major refurbishment which means we now have better facilities for disabled attenders, including more wheel-chair accessible seating, transfer seating, disabled toilets, a changing places facility and lift access to all levels, making to easier to attend concerts and other events in lovely Art-Deco Hall.

We also offer patrons who require an assistant to attend a complimentary ticket for their assistant (subject to availability).

To help us meet the needs of disabled attenders, we have formed an ‘Access Scheme’ which disabled patrons are encouraged to join (it’s free!) in order for us to note their specific requirements, and be eligible for complimentary assistant tickets where required.

Information about how to join, proof of disability accepted, and full details are available at:

http://www.liverpoolphil.com/accessibility

We’ve got some great concerts coming up this Autumn, including the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra’s Spirit of Christmas concerts, Billy Bragg, Bryn Terfel in Verdi’s Falstaff, Katherine Jenkins and more and we’d love to welcome more disabled attenders to our hall.
