A extremely impressive venue with breathtakingly uncomfortable seats, the Sheldonian is most suitable for musical performances that are about the sound rather than the visuals and, for preference, have several intervals. Chairs can be set out at the edge of the central performance area, but most seating is on benches in the surrounding galleries. It's not exactly "wheelchair-friendly" but with a little effort a wheelchair can be brought in. Having said all this, it is utterly beautiful in a frilly baroque kind of way and adds a touch of grandeur to the offerings of any performers lucky enough to play there.
