Accessibility Information

The Pleasance is a disabled friendly venue, and there are a variety of facilities available for those who would like use them. Do please telephone our reception on 0131 556 1513, for further details, and please do not hesitate to ask any of our staff if you need assistance.

Whilst a great deal of investment has been made in our facilities, we are aware that there are still some services we cannot provide, as well as areas where improvements still need to be made. We will continue to upgrade our facilities, and would welcome your comments and advice that you have. A lot of this is new, and so it would be wise to arrive early, and to let us know that you are coming.
