Yes. The Next Liberty attaches great importance to ensuring that culture is accessible to everyone. The theatre has step-free access and reserved wheelchair spaces. Visitors in wheelchairs are asked to reserve these seats at least one week before the performance. Wheelchair users and one accompanying person also receive a discount on the ticket price. This ensures that nothing stands in the way of a relaxed and accessible theatre visit.

Detailed information on accessibility can also be found in the PDF ‘Accessibility Information: Next Liberty Graz’.
