All-In Access Review: Curve Theatre

Join us for an All-In Accessibility Review at Curve Theatre, taking place on Tuesday 19th August from 5:30pm to 7:00pm.

We’ll be reviewing the building’s public areas — including the foyer and auditoriums — with a focus on accessibility and inclusion. This is part of our wider work with local arts organisations to improve access and create more welcoming spaces across Leicester’s cultural venues.

All are welcome, especially those with access needs — we need your input to make our reviews as representative and impactful as possible. The session will involve a guided walk-through, informal discussion, and space to share your experiences.

BSL interpretation will be provided. If you have other access needs or travel requirements, please let us know when booking — we ask for one week’s notice so we can work with Curve to put everything in place ahead of the visit.
