This is situated approximately 70m from the accessible entrance on a grass surface. All places on the Accessible Viewing Platform must be pre-booked. The platform is located approximately 75m from the stage to the right. The platform has a non-slip surface and is double level, with access ramps. 

A ground-level, grass Accessible Viewing Area is provided alongside the viewing platform for customers who have health conditions or other disabilities and need a less crowded area and access to the accessible toilets. There will not be an unrestricted sight line of the stage in this area, as there will be customers in front of the Ground-level Grass Accessible Viewing Area who are likely to be standing up.  All places in the Ground-level Grass Accessible Viewing Area must be pre-booked.
