There are many bars and restaurants nearby that frequently serve the audiences of the theatre.

The theatre now benefits from a lift to bring up 45' trailers and tractor units up to stage level, which is 3 floors above street level at the rear of the theatre.

The front of house sound position is somewhat unusually located at the rear of the Dress Circle. Another oddity is the motor hanging points for the advance truss, they are not parallel with the line of the front of stage. The Auditorium left point is about 500mm further into the auditorium than the centre and house right. A major blunder but we're not sure why.

Towards the rear of the stalls there is 41mm unistrut Product 221-724 fixed to the ceiling to facilitate the hanging delay speakers. In the Gallery there is also a winch bar across the full width of the auditorium to again facilitate the hanging of delay speakers.
