Aldersley accessibility: plan your darts visit
Aldersley publishes a useful illustrated access guide, including the entrance, lift and toilets.
Start there, then arrange your Grand Slam position with the event ticket office. The temporary darts seating needs its own access plan.
Accessibility checked 6 October 2026. Arrange your event seating and arrival route before booking travel.
The overall picture and access contact
WV Active lists accessible parking, an accessible gate, a lift, accessible toilets and a hearing loop. Its illustrated accessibility guide shows the regular building layout.
No Aldersley AccessAble guide was found when checked.

Booking accessible and companion tickets
PDC directs accessible bookings to each event's ticket office through its official ticket information.
Its help centre says an accessible ticket includes a free carer place unless the purchase instructions say otherwise.
You don't usually add a second paid ticket for that companion.
Ask the Grand Slam seller about current accessible availability, the companion's position and any supporting evidence before paying.
Tell them whether you need to remain in your wheelchair or can use a standard seat.
The 2026 wheelchair numbers, viewing positions and companion seats aren't confirmed here; get your allocation from the ticket team.
Get the actual allocation confirmed rather than buying a table or tier ticket and expecting a change on arrival.

Getting there step-free
The venue guide places accessible bays straight ahead as you enter the site. From parking, you'll cross the internal road towards the entrance.
It describes a flat approach and an automatic right-hand door; the left door is manual. The named Aldersley Leisure Village bus stop is by the entrance.
Those directions cover normal centre access. Ask where Grand Slam security checks, drop-off and accessible admission will be on your day.
Leave room in your plan for queues and November rain.
Book an accessible return vehicle ahead if needed, giving the driver the agreed collection point rather than just the postcode.

Inside the venue
Lifts and toilets: the regular first-floor lift is reached through double doors on the left after entering.
The ground-floor accessible toilet is opposite reception and doesn't need a RADAR key. WV Active also lists accessible changing rooms and showers on both floors.
Ask which toilets and routes remain open during the darts.
Hearing support: the centre lists a hearing loop, without naming its coverage. If you'll use it, ask whether it serves reception or the Grand Slam audience.
Darts hearing-loop coverage, a quiet room and an on-site Changing Places toilet aren't confirmed here; discuss each need with the venue.
Explain whether you need a hoist, changing bench or somewhere to take a sensory break.
The ordinary accessible toilet shouldn't be treated as a Changing Places facility. If those extra facilities are essential, settle the arrangements before buying travel.
Ask whether a break involves leaving the ticketed area and how staff will arrange your return.

Assistance dogs
WV Active says guide dogs are welcome. Tell the event ticket office about your dog when arranging your place.
Ask for enough room beside you, water and a practical route outside. Agree how you'll get back through security after a relief break.
For other assistance dogs, ask the organiser to confirm the event arrangements in the same conversation.
