Introduction

Out Loud Music and South Street Studios strives to be an inclusive site and welcomes deaf and disabled people. We are always learning more and if you have any queries or issues about any access we’d love to hear from you to see how we can improve. Please get in touch via enquiries@outloudmusic.org.

Location

Out Loud Music is part of a larger complex called South Street Studios, which is home to The Smokehouse music venue as well as part of Ipswich Community Media. South Street Studios is located on South Street, Ipswich, IP1 3NU. It is opposite the left hand side of Coes if facing it directly and tucked behind the Maharani restaurant and Bicafe O Portugues.

Parking

South Street Studios site is right next to ‘Norwich Road Shoppers car park’, a pay and display car park. There are five accessible parking spaces, three located in the front car park about 20m from the venue and two located at the other end of the car park behind the venue (about 150m away). Blue Badge holders can park free for up to 3 hours within designated bays whilst displaying a valid badge and clock - no return within 1 hour. Taxis are able to drop customers off right outside the front of the building South Street Studios, before the alleyway down to The Smokehouse. Ipswich train station is located 1288 metres away.

Toilets

There is a Changing Places toilet located across the courtyard (5 metres) from The Smokehouse. The radar key to unlock this will be inside by The Smokehouse door hanging up. Please speak to a member of staff should you require assistance. We have recently installed four gender neutral toilets in the venue, and the one on the far right has a basin in the cubicle.

Customers with Medical Requirements

We welcome any customers who may need to bring food, drink, medicine or medical equipment with them to manage a medical condition. We are able to refrigerate any medication, so please let us know if you would like us to do this for you. Please let us know in advance so we can allow and find sufficient space for it.

Assistance Dogs

We can accommodate guide dogs. Due to the small size of South Street Studios we ask that you please get in touch in advance if you will have an assistance dog upon your arrival.
