Our Museum is designed to be accessible and welcoming to everyone! Wide aisles allow easy access for wheelchair users, and a lift is available to reach the museum galleries for those who cannot manage stairs. Seating is provided throughout the galleries for rest breaks during your visit. For those with limited mobility, a carpet runner can be arranged to help navigate the cobbled courtyard (please contact the museum in advance of your visit).

Assistance dogs are warmly welcomed throughout the museum. We are committed to ensuring all visitors can enjoy their experience comfortably and accessibly.

The museum offers an accessible toilet equipped with baby changing facilities for your convenience. We are also proud to be a breastfeeding-friendly space, ensuring a welcoming and comfortable visit for all families.

Accessible events are held at intervals, please refer to our 'What's On' page for further information.

We are committed to making the museum as accessible as possible for everyone. To find out more, you can read our Access Policy, which outlines our approach and ongoing commitment.

An audio description tour can be accessed through QR codes within the galleries, this gives more information about some of the star items on display!
