ACCESSIBILITY FAQ'S

Wheelchair Access

The Triffid has wheelchair access at street level. There are no steps at the entrance of the building so patrons in wheelchairs have full access to the ground floor of the building, which includes the Beer Garden, Live Room and wheelchair amenities. Please contact admin@thetriffid.com.au prior to the show to arrange priority wheelchair entry.

Please note, The Triffid also has a mezzanine level that overlooks the Live Room, however, this is only accessible by stairs (there is no lift).

The Triffid doesn’t have its own car park on premises, so those looking for wheelchair parking will need to park on the street in the surrounding area utilising Brisbane City Council’s metered parking areas. All surrounding streets have signed spaces, just make sure you pay close attention to the signage. You are, however, welcome to use the loading zone area out the front of the Venue to unload.

Companion Cards

The Triffid accepts companion cards please contact admin@thetriffid.com.au to arrange a companion card ticket prior to the event date. On the show day simply bring and show the companion card when your tickets are scanned.

The Triffid Live Room has two main areas, The Main Room, and The Mezzanine.

Please advise which option is best suited to your level of mobility upon inquiry.

Low Lighting and Strobe Lighting

Please contact the Venue at admin@thetriffid.com if you have any concerns around strobe or flashing lighting for a show you are attending. While we make every effort to ensure that there is signage for any shows including strobe this may not always be possible.

There is an Accessible, Gender-Neutral toilet located in the main foyer next to the ticket desk. Please use the bathroom that is the most suitable for you when you visit the Triffid.

Quiet Spaces

Generally, our mezzanine level provides a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the crowd on the main floor however due to the nature of the Venue and Live Events this is not always the case.
