Aviva Studios is a new purpose-built cultural space in the heart of Manchester. The entrance to our building is through double sets of glass doors. There are automatic doors at both entrances.

Once inside, there is step-free access to all areas of the venue. You will arrive into the Social, a large public space where there are a range of seats (including those with arms), a bar and toilets.

The bars in the Social have lowered accessible service points.

The Warehouse entrance is by lift or stairs from one side of The Social opposite the bar.

TOILETS

There are accessible toilets on all public levels of our building.

Accessible toilets (a mixture of wheelchair accessible cubicles with right- or left-hand transfer as well as accessible ambulant cubicles with grab rails) are located in the brick arches in the Social.

There are additional accessible toilets located in both Hall Foyers.

You do not need a key to use the accessible toilets.

ASSISTANCE DOGS

Assistance dogs are welcome to visit Yayoi Kusama: You, Me And The Balloons, and we can provide mats and water bowls (outside the installation) on request.

If you are bringing your assistance dog to the event, we would appreciate you letting us know in advance by emailing access@factoryinternational.org.
