Below you can find out information about access facilties at Soho Theatre. We aim to make the venue and programme as accessible as possible to the broadest audiences.

Facilities for people who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing

*The Auditorium has an infra-red loop system (with 5 headsets). The Studio has a built-in loop system. Both can be used by hearing aid users.

If you require a headset, or would like to be seated in the best position to see and hear the play, please tell box office about your requirements when you book. 

For each Captioned and BSL performance, we produce a You Tube information video in BSL with English subtitles. You can find the latest video here.

Facilities for people who are Visually Impaired

We can reserve seats for you in easily accessible seats in the Auditorium and the Studio - just ask at Box Office when you book. You can also request the assistance of an usher to help you to your seat.

*Guide dogs can be brought into the auditorium or left with Soho Theatre staff. The theatre can accommodate 2 guide dogs per performance.

You can also listen to an audio guide before you see an Audio Described performance. You can find audio guides by clicking here.

We also have touch tours where visually impaired patrons are introduced to actor's voices and given an introduction to the set. If you would like to attend a touch tour, please let box office know when you book.
