Barnfield Theatre in Exeter Barnfield Road, Exeter EX1 1SN. Cinderella plus Christmas Rassamatz in 2011 !!
Excellent theatre, one of our favourites. The website asks special access requests to contact the management
prior to visiting,
so I phoned the theatre where a very helpful and friendly girl told me that they do have a
disabled toilet and
that the foyer
is all on the ground floor and that wheelchair users are taken into the theatre
via a side entrance to the gound level front
row where 2 spaces are on offer with an occasional extra space with enough notice.

This little theatre is one of our favourites too.
