Accessibility
ALBERT & CO
Albert & Co Frankville
Due to the current layout of our venue we do not have disabled access via the front door. We do have a fire escape at the back of the building (see on Google Maps) that can be used as an entrance for motorised wheelchairs to access the ground floor level. As this is a fire escape it’s not usually open, please inform a member of door security or call us on 01743 341 641.
We also have a disabled toilet on the ground floor.
For accessibility enquires, please use this form and a member of our team will answer you as soon as possible.

Access by the front entrance is made up of 6 steps. Access via the back door/fire escape has a small incline. Due to the position of the front entrance on the main road, we recommend against dropping off here. Instead we suggest dropping off at the back door (see on Google Maps) and either ringing the buzzer for access or calling us on 01743 341 641.Â
There is limited parking nearby. The closest car park is Frankwell Quay (1 minute walk) or Frankwell Main (3 minute walk).

From the front entrance you’ll see a bar in front on you. On the left hand side of the bar you’ll find an entrance way to the right. The accessible toilet will be on your left, and the female toilets will face you straight on.
Please note, the male toilets are up a flight of steep stairs, if you have trouble walking up stairs we suggest using the accessible toilet.
Given the nature of the venue, we would discourage customers from bringing assistance dogs with them during shows and busy periods. We do however offer an essential companion concession in these instances.
Customers with accessibility difficulties who need a full-time assistant in order to attend an event are eligible to purchase 2-for-1 tickets, in order to bring a personal assistant or carer to the event at no extra cost.
To apply for a 2-for-1 ticket, please book a standard entry ticket and then email proof of eligibility using this form. We accept the Access Card as proof of eligibility and will provide the stated assistant tickets for that card.
For general entry on non-ticketed events, please provide your Access Card as proof of eligibility and we will waver the cost of entry for the assistant.
