Accessibility

There is one accessible seat for wheelchair users in the auditorium. It is located in the box to the left of the stage, near row 3, with a restricted view of the stage.
For selected performances and events, the seating can be purchased online; for others, it can only be booked by contacting Nørrebro Teater at billetter@nbt.dk.

Please note that the companion will be seated directly next to the wheelchair user.

For events held in the theatre foyer, there are up to five accessible seatings for wheelchair users. These can be purchased online.

Access to the auditorium
The auditorium can be accessed via a stairlift operated by our staff. If you need to use the lift, please arrive at least 30 minutes before the event or performance begins. When you arrive, please speak to a member of staff at the bar.

The stairlift platform measures 99 × 77 cm and is equipped with automatic safety flaps and rails on three sides, which must be in place for the lift to operate. This mean that wheelchairs with more than two pairs of wheels, oxygen equipment or similar, or users who require footrests to remain in the lowest position at all times, may not have sufficient space on the lift.

Access to the foyer
The foyer at Nørrebro Teater is located at street level and is accessible for wheelchairs and other mobility aids. During events in the foyer, café tables and loose seating will be arranged to ensure ample space around you. On the same level, you will find the cloakroom, bar, and accessible toilet facilities.

Holders of an official companion card, issued by the Danish Disability Organisations, the Danish Association of the Blind, or equivalent organisations, are entitled to a complimentary companion ticket for performances and events at Nørrebro Teater.

In the auditorium, one companion seat is available next to the wheelchair space. In the foyer, up to five companion seats are available alongside the wheelchair spaces.

For selected performances and events, companion seats can be booked online together with a wheelchair space. For all other performances and events, please contact Nørrebro Teater at billetter@nbt.dk.

If you require a companion seat without booking a wheelchair space, please contact Nørrebro Teater at billetter@nbt.dk.

If you have difficulty using stairs, we recommend purchasing a ticket for Row 3 with an odd-numbered seat (on the left-hand side of the auditorium). Row 3 is the only row in the auditorium that can be accessed without using stairs.

Nørrebro Teater is part of the Sunflower Programme, helping to raise awareness of invisible disabilities and to make theatre visits easier for people with hidden conditions and disabilities. The Sunflower lanyard is designed to support both those living with invisible disabilities and those around them, making it easier to offer consideration and assistance where needed. It allows individuals to discreetly signal that they may require additional time, support, or understanding.

You can collect a free Sunflower lanyard by speaking to our front-of-house staff upon arrival at the theatre.

Nørrebro Teater offers designated seats for guests with neurodivergence or social anxiety who may find it difficult to attend events with large crowds. These seats are located at the back of the auditorium in row 24 (seats 22 and 24, or 23 and 25).

If you wish to use these seats, you may arrive just before the performance begins, once all other guests have taken their seats, so you do not have to wait among large crowds. Upon arrival, please speak to a member of staff at the bar and let them know that you have booked a designated quiet seat. Five minutes before the performance starts, a member of our front-of-house team will escort you to your seat at the back of the auditorium via our rear entrance. You will be seated on the back row, close to the exit, allowing you to leave the auditorium easily and discreetly if needed.

We hope that these designated seats will help make your theatre visit feel safe and comfortable, so you can fully enjoy the performance.

These seats can be booked either directly via www.nbt.dk or by contacting billetter@nbt.dk. Please note that availability is limited and seats may be sold out.

We kindly ask that you contact us at billetter@nbt.dk no later than two days before your visit, so we can ensure everything is prepared for your arrival.

At Nørrebro Teater, you are welcome to bring your assistance dog. We kindly ask that your dog is a trained assistance dog or currently in training. Your dog must also be clearly identified with a “working dog” vest or similar.

If you wish to purchase a ticket with space for your assistance dog, please contact billetter@nbt.dk. Tickets can also be purchased in person at the theatre one hour before the performance, and only for performances taking place that same day. Please note that availability is limited and tickets may be sold out.

Do you have hearing loss and need additional equipment to enhance your listening experience in the auditorium?
For all performances and events at Nørrebro Teater, you can reserve assistive listening equipment free of charge.

• Wireless FM system (a receiver with adjustable volume and a set of headphones). Each receiver connects to a pair of headphones, which can be borrowed from Nørrebro Teater. You are also welcome to bring your own headphones for improved sound quality; these must have a mini-jack plug.
• Personal induction loop (a small neck loop, primarily for users with significant hearing loss). Please note that low-frequency humming may occur when using the neck loop. This is caused by external noise from the technical installations in the auditorium. The personal neck loop transmits sound directly to your hearing aid, provided it has a telecoil and a compatible programme.
• DT 770 Pro headphones, offering a higher level of sound amplification.

The FM system replaces the previous induction loop system.

The FM equipment, including headphones, is available to borrow free of charge. It can be reserved online when purchasing tickets at www.nbt.dk or by contacting billetter@nbt.dk.

HOW TO USE THE FM EQUIPMENT

The FM equipment and personal induction loops have been made possible in partnership with the hearing aid manufacturer Oticon, with support from Oticon Medical.
