Theatre503’s foyer is up a flight of 22 steep stairs on the first floor, above The Latchmere pub. At Theatre503, we are aware our venue can be inaccessible for many.  For those who require access seats, we can offer a pathway into our auditorium which requires an additional 5 steps, up on incoming and down on outgoing. 

Access Seats & Pricing

Access patrons are entitled to a £20 ticket and one free companion ticket. To gain access to this discount, please email boxoffice@theatre503.com.

Our dedicated Access seats are B7 & B8 and are available only to our access patrons until 48 hours before performance start time, at which point they will be released on general sale. These seats have an additional 5 steps up into the auditorium from our foyer. 

If these seats are booked, we recommend booking B1 and/or B2 for the same number of steps, without additional legroom.

Alternatively, you can book A7 and/or A7 for an additional step down or C9 and/or C8 for a further step up, both with additional leg room.

Please note, due to the nature of our venue, we cannot yet provide step free access. 

If you would like to be tagged as an access patron, entitling you to a free companion seat in addition to your access seat, please email or call our Box Office on boxoffice@theatre503.com on 0207 9787040. 

Assistance Dogs 

We welcome guide dogs and assistance dogs as access companions in the auditorium where needed. We would be most grateful if you could let us know in advance by emailing boxoffice@theatre503.com if you intend to bring an assistance dog with you into the auditorium. 

The 503Studio

We recognise that we are not able to accommodate particular access needs. Our 503Studio in Nine Elms will improve our accessibility, as this will be step free space. 

Theatre503’s Writer’s Programme

We will be continuing our online reach with our Online Writers’ Programme, live captioning is available for all online Courses and Masterclasses. 

If you have any access requirements, you can let us know by contacting filling out our Writer’s Programme Accessibility Form or contacting Theatre503 via our Writers’ Programme email, writersprogramme@theatre503.com or by calling 02079787040.

Tailored Performances

If you need assistance during any of our performances, please do make a Theatre503 Team member aware. If you have particular needs, you may wish to attend one of our tailored performances. Please check the webpage of the specific show you wish to attend to see our tailored performances available.

Relaxed Performance

These performances exclude strobe, haze and smoke, but remain the same in all other creative aspects. Audience members are free to move around, leave and re-enter the space as they need. These are Pay What You Choose performances. These are the first Saturday matinee (2:30 pm) of each full-length run. You can choose a ticket price between £10 and £28. 

Early Access

If you need some time to familiarise yourself with or settle in the auditorium, please do get in touch as we may be able to provide early access into the theatre for those needing to avoid crowded spaces. We will do our best to accommodate this in line with the needs of the production. 

Content Information

Content information for each show can be found on each show’s page on our website, in our box office via a QR code or by calling our Box Office.  Please note, due to the nature of our shows being new writing and changes being made all throughout previews, the full content information is usually not available until the first preview, and the content information is often being updated right the way up to Press Night, to ensure accuracy.

Further Information

As a small organisation, we can be more responsive to individual needs. If we can do anything to make your visit to Theatre503 easier or more comfortable, or if you have any suggestions as to how we could accommodate further, please feel free to call us on 020 7978 7040 or email boxoffice@theatre503.com.
