There is NO lift or elevator access to either this section of Isaac Theatre Royal OR the first level Ravenscar Circle, which is accessible via a wide, well bannistered marble staircase consisting of 32 steps.
The Eureka Trust Gallery is also the highest part of the Theatre and has a steep elevation.

It is also not recommended for patrons potentially uncomfortable with heights or suffering from vertigo.
There are suitable banisters for assistance on both the Ravenscar Circle and the Eureka Trust Gallery levels to get to all seats and there are spacious rest room and refreshment facilities in the foyers of both levels.
