Accessibility

The following policy and services are part of the County Stage’s plan to meet the standards of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (2005), and to serve the diverse needs of our patrons. We are committed to providing accessible services in a manner that maintains the dignity and independence of all our patrons while providing equality of access and integration.

Outdoor washrooms are porta-potties on site near our tent. 

We have fully accessible washrooms for wheelchair access in the indoor Red Barn Theatre.

Wheelchair and Low Mobility Access
Outdoor Eddie Pavilion

  • Our outdoor Pavilion venue is accessible, but please note the ground is uneven in places, but staff will assist in making sure you are able to access the audience area. We have removable seats, so you’ll be able to choose your location to watch the show.

Wheelchair and Low Mobility Access
Indoor Red Barn Theatre

  • Our Red Barn Theatre has stairs at the front entrance, but a graded grass slope leading to the back entrance. Vehicles will be given permission to drive up the slope at the back and drop off patrons requiring assistance with wheelchair or low mobility access. We have removable seats, so you’ll be able to choose your location to watch the show.

  Accessibility at the Base31

If you have purchased tickets to our Haymaker Comedy Festival or Mess Hall Sessions Music Series, your event will be held at Base31.
Base 31 wants the community and visitors who journey to their site to feel safe and seen.

Base31 has implemented the following:

  • Accessible porta potties are on site 24/7 for site visits and events. 

  • All areas of Base31 are wheelchair accessible. However, some buildings including our main venues (The Drill Hall, Sergeants Mess and The Lecture Hall) are being revamped to include wider doorways, ramps and automatic door buttons to be installed in future

  • The Base31 site is flat, therefore people can explore the site and its buildings with ease. 

  • Base31 has an accessible parking lot located near The Drill Hall event venue (Building 20)

As Base31 considers its site and all visitors, it is front of mind to install larger entry ways on all of our buildings, and to include accessible push buttons on main doors. Though this is still in progress and not yet implemented, Base31 thanks everyone for their patience.

Base31 asks you to please reach out with any feedback, questions or concerns regarding accessibility at info@base31.ca.
