New Platform Lift is a winner

Tuesday 20th December

Front of House were delighted to show off the Superb New Platform Lift at Blackfriars. The Lift is situated at the Lower door into the auditorium. This addition along with the new seats that were installed in 2015 allows us to accommodate more wheelchair users than before. It also allows those with walking difficulties to sit in the chair and be taken in and out of the Auditorium with no effort at all.

Theatre goers looking forward to seeing BOS Musical Theatre Groups performance of ‘White Christmas’ had a real treat before the show – the Platform Lift was in action and admired by everyone. 

Janine (pictured) said “It is an excellent piece of equipment – So easy to access and so smooth when travelling”.




Blackfriars undoubtedly plays a very important role as Boston's centre for entertainment and the arts. It is home to two very successful local amateur dramatic and operatic groups, as well as hosting a varied program of professional stage productions.
