Orange Tree Theatre in Richmond












The Orange Tree Theatre in Richmond is a very nice Theatre because it is small so it is easy to get around, it is accessable to people with moblity problems via the car park that you can reserve a parking space.


The car park is behind a set of black iron gates that are automatic but you need to buzz to get in for them to open the gates but when you go out of the car park the gates open when you move near them, Please Note they open towards you!
The car park bays are under cover

inside the Orange Tree Theatre there is a lift to the seating area so it is easy to get to your seat, also there is a area of seats that you can to get to via the lift.


The seats are mostly fixed to the floor but they do have chairs that you can use they are at the back of the Orange Tree Theatre seating area.

Also the accessable toilet is accessed via the lift, the toilet is very nice and clean and bright, it has two emegancy alarms the normal red cord and a door bell, The doorway to the toilet is the normal width but there is a tight corner that has a wall that is a bit in the way but it can't be helped of moved.





Here is a photo of the sign pointing towards the Orange Tree Theatre, as you can see it ias very clear and it tells you that they are very good when it comes to welcoming disabled people to the Orange Tree Theatre, the allow guide dogs and have a hearing loop in the Box Office.




Orange Tree Theatre has a bar that opens during the interval of the play and they seve tea/coffee/coke/bottled water/wine/beer etc.



I had a tea made for me because I was checking the access out, the staff are very friendly they have a platform lift up the small number of steps up to the Box Office of the Orange Tree Theatre.

I can't tell you about the acting in any of the plays yet because I have not seen one yet.






This is the Orange Tree Theatre building as you can see the flat access is via the back and the not accessable access is via the front.

The Orange Tree Theatre, started in the Orange Tree Pub where they started the Orange Tree Theatre idea.




The Orange Tree Theatre is very nice and worth going to see a play.

Rembet to turn your Mobile Phone off! before going to your seat if you don't they won't let you in.
