Accessibility details

The entrance to the Main Hall is off Collins St, around the corner from the main entrance on Swanston St, heading towards Russell St. There are two entry doors, each with a staircase of approx. 7 steps leading up to a marbled foyer.

For step-free/wheelchair access, there is a ramp to the right-hand side of the entry doors that leads up to the marbled foyer. Once inside the foyer, the main entry doors to the Stalls seating area are straight ahead. Accessible seating that allows for step-free access and/or space for a wheelchair is in the Stalls on both sides of the auditorium.

In the foyer, there is a staircase on the left-hand side of approx. 20+ steps that leads to the Balcony. There is no step-free/wheelchair access to the Balcony, however there is an internal lift accessible from the main entrance on Swanston St that can be taken to level 2 and then only 6 steps are required to access the Balcony level.

There are bathrooms in the Collins St foyer, accessed downstairs via approx. 10+ steps. An accessible bathroom is available on the Ground Floor of Melbourne Town Hall, accessed through the Collins St foyer, through the Stalls seating area and by taking the lift to the Ground floor. Please see a Comedy Festival Front of House staff member if you require an accessible bathroom so that they can provide wayfinding assistance.

Please see How to Book Your Ticket if you require step-free and/or wheelchair access in the Main Hall.
