The Cloudsley-Thompson Room is on the lower ground floor and can only be accessed via a lift or by descending stairs.
A lift provides step-free access to the lower ground, ground, first, and second floors. Access to the lift requires manual door opening.
A unisex accessible toilet is on the lower ground floor, with step free access via the lift. It does not require a RADAR key. Other toilet facilities are available on multiple levels.
Our historic building features six stone steps leading up to our entrance. We have a portable ramp that staff will be very happy to place to assist entry and exit from the building when a need is identified.
Our location inside a 19th century listed building presents several challenges as regards physical accessibility some of which are summarised here. We recognise that our visitors have different needs, and our staff are here to support you.
