Our team understands that access is about more than the building itself. Staff are always happy to provide assistance where needed, whether that means offering additional information in advance, supporting you on arrival, or helping you move through the space during your visit. If you have specific access requirements, we encourage you to get in touch ahead of time so we can do our best to support your visit and make your experience at Studio 2 as comfortable as possible.

We are continually reviewing how we use our spaces and deliver our programmes to make sure Studio 2 remains an inclusive and welcoming environment for all members of the community.
