FABRIC aims to offer fully accessible creative facilities.

Lift access from Thorp Street to Level 5
Disabled toilet and shower facilities
Wheelchair accessible studios

We recognise that people may have different needs in order to participate in dance, we are happy to make some other equitable adjustments to our class programme and dance projects to allow you to take part in dance.

Dance Classes

People with disabilities can get a concession price ticket for our dance classes

Buddy Scheme

Class Participants with additional requirements may be accompanied by a “buddy”. This is a person who supports them throughout the class offering reassurance and light support to ensure they are safe and have a positive experience. This is suitable for participants with learning disabilities, mental health struggles and/or some minor behaviour disorders. The buddy can take the class for free in this circumstance.

As a class participant, you may bring your own buddy or FABRIC can arrange one for you. We usually ask a long-standing class participant member to do this.

Disability Awareness Training

There is no ‘perfect’ way to provide access for all and although most of our staff members have attended Disability Awareness training, we always have more to learn, so please talk to us about your individual requirements and we will work towards accommodating them.
