Access in our building

In whichever way you engage with Northern Ballet, we aim to be as inclusive and welcoming as possible. At our home on Quarry Hill, we are a registered Safe Place, have the Scope Inclusive Activity Award and are Dementia Friendly.  

We believe that equal access can only be achieved with your input, so please let us know if you feel there is anything we can do to improve your experience with Northern Ballet. 

To put the health and wellbeing of our staff and audiences at the centre of our work, our building is currently closed to many people. If you are accessing the building as part of a course or another booking, please make sure you have received the complete guidelines from the Programme Manager. We can’t wait to welcome you back soon.
