THE VENUE

The venue consists of one main blank canvas room. This can be set up in a variety of ways depending on the event.  Our main entrance is flat with no steps. We also have step-free access to the space via a roller shutter door. Our door team or event staff will be able to assist. Once in the venue, all public areas are step-free. 

ACCESSIBLE TICKETS

We are partnered with Resident Advisor (RA) who provided ticketing to all our electronic music events.
Other types of event may use a variety of different ticketing providers. 

Every event has the option for a deaf or disabled person to bring a personal assistant/support worker at no additional cost when purchasing their own ticket.  


To get a PA ticket you must follow the ticket purchase link for the relevant event, then first select a standard ticket for the person needing assistance and then add on an additional free PA ticket option. this may vary depending on the ticketing provider. If you have any issues ordering a PA ticket please contact us directly.
 

As standard we only sell E-tickets. However, if you need to purchase a ticket another way you can contact us directly and we can arrange to provide/pay a ticket in a way that may be more convenient to you.

ENJOYING THE SHOW

Our main space does not as standard have a raised viewing platform. for larger capacity standing events a viewing platform is created depending on the event layout. 


For seated events, we use portable fold-out seats that are configured differently depending on the show. This means we can offer accessible seating in any area you’d prefer, our staff can assist in quickly removing a seat to create a wheelchair space at any position in the room. If you’d like to access the event space early to choose a space or facilitate this process please contact us in advance. 


Staff can also provide a chair at any point during a standing show on request.

CASHLESS

TESTBED is a cashless venue, only card payments are accepted at all our bars, box office, and cloakroom.
 

Why? - Since 2019 all The Wunderkind Group premisis have been cashless. There are no tills, no cash, and no safes on the premises.
Being fully cashless helps to ensure the safety of our staff and our building. 

​

We researched and considered the decision long and hard. We are aware that being cashless impacts those who find the access to, or the use of card services difficult. We have our own internal policies in place to ensure all our customers have an accessible and enjoyable experience, Please contact us if this would be prohibitive to your visit and we can arrange a solution. 


We accept all types of card payments, as well as contactless e-payments via smartphones, watches, and other devices.
