It’s very important to us all at Depot that everyone can enjoy the films we show. So we have tried to make the venue as welcoming and accessible as possible.

At Depot, accessibility is designed into everything we do. It’s why we’ve been recognised with the Selwyn Goldsmith Award for Universal Design – given to projects which have demonstrated excellence in providing a scheme which is accessible for all users, from people with decreased mobility, to parents with small children, to people with sensory impairments and everything in-between.

Depot is all on the ground floor and there are accessible ways around all minor height levels. The three auditoria; the Cafe, Restaurant, Lounge and Gallery; the toilets; the outside terraces and the garden are equally accessible to all. All signage is bold and large. There are gender neutral toilets adjacent to the restaurant.

There is a variety of seating, at different heights, including seats with arms. In the auditoria, there are well positioned wheelchair spaces with adjacent companion seats. In Screen 1 & Screen 2, seating rows A to C are step-free, and in Screen 3, seating row A is step-free.

The dimensions of our seats are as follows:

Seat Cushion: 45cm width x 45cm depth
Backrest: 65cm height x 50cm width
Distance between armrests: 47cm
Bottom of seat to floor: 28cm
Top of seat cushion to floor: 43cm
