Coming to the Dormston Mill Theatre
The company performs at the Dormston Mill Theatre on Mill Bank in Sedgley, DY3 1SN. Here is where it is, where to leave the car, how to find the door, and what the room is like once you are inside.
Finding it
Mill Bank, Sedgley
Dormston Mill TheatreMill BankDormston SchoolSedgleyDY3 1SNThe theatre stands on the Dormston School site. A postcode will get you to Mill Bank, but the door is easier to find with a what3words square than with a satnav.
Getting through the door
Enter through the steel gates and make your way to the main entrance. Go right and up the spiral staircase and you will be in the theatre lobby.
If a spiral staircase is going to be a problem, please read the Access section further down this page before you book.

Nothing in the company's records covers getting here by bus or by train, so this page does not pretend to know. If you are coming without a car, ask on Facebook before you set off.
Parking
Four car parks, none of them far
The car park on the theatre's own site is free and a minute from the door, which is exactly why it fills first. Three more sit around Sedgley High Street, all of them a short walk away.

Turning in off the roundabout
The entrance to the street that leads down to the theatre is small and comes off the roundabout. Take it slowly: the view out of the junction is poor at times.
Access
Ask us before you book
The way up to the lobby from the main entrance is a spiral staircase. That is worth knowing before you set off, and it is the whole of what the company has on record about getting into this building.
A staircase is a warning. It is not an access statement, and this page will not treat it as one.
Nothing in any source confirms whether the Dormston Mill Theatre has step-free access, a wheelchair space, a hearing loop or an accessible toilet. This page is not going to guess in either direction, so it is saying so instead. If any of that matters to your visit, please ask before you book rather than relying on what is written here.
The same goes for assistance dogs, for reaching a seat without stairs, and for anything else you would normally check with a box office. Ask, and the answer comes from somebody who has actually been in the room, which is worth more than a paragraph on a website.

One room, and every seat faces the stage
The auditorium is small enough to feel like a proper theatre rather than a hall. The seating is raked, with a narrow gallery down each side and the lighting bars in plain view overhead. Good acoustics, comfortable seats, and a clear view of the stage from wherever you end up.
The seats
340or thereabouts
Most of them are in the stalls, with a small block up in the circle. Every seat is the same price for every performance, so there is nothing to weigh up at the seating plan beyond where you would rather sit.
The exact capacity has never been confirmed by the venue. The figure the company works to is a little over 340, taken from its own show records rather than from the theatre.
On the night
What to expect
For The Prince of Egypt, the next production through those doors.

Some of the usual questions do not have an answer yet. Nobody has recorded what time the doors open, what happens if you arrive late, whether the running time above includes an interval, what age the show is suitable for, or whether any performance is captioned, signed or relaxed. Rather than fill those in with something plausible, this page leaves them open. Ask on Facebook and the answer will be a real one.
