Access resources: We have an accessible building with lift access to the first floor and mezzanine floor, and accessible toilets on the ground and mezzanine floor. We welcome assistance dogs and offer the free use of a wheelchair and portable fold-up stools for your comfort whilst in the gallery. Large print information about our exhibitions is displayed on the gallery doors and walls. Audio guides to our exhibitions are available via QR codes in the gallery. Further details can be found in large print and audio guides which are available upon request from staff at reception. Sensory packs are available at reception and are available to everyone. These packs offer a range of interactive toys designed to enhance your gallery experience and provide relaxing sensory stimuli (fabric bag, ear defenders, sand timer, communication cards, tangle toy, squashy ball, popping disc, twisty tub, fidget spinner).
Designated staff for disability support and the chronically ill community: Our dedicated Front of House team is on hand to help you and accommodate any access requirements you may have.
Additional support: Wheelchair loan and portable seats are available to use free of charge, upon request from Reception or Gallery staff. Entrance to the gallery is free and you do not need a ticket to visit the exhibitions. However, some of our programmed events and activities are ticketed and this will be made clear on our website. This space is well lit however some of our exhibitions may require reduced lighting. Each exhibition is risk assessed and wherever possible the installations of artwork are accessible to all visitors. We aim to provide written transcripts and/or subtitles of the films we show, however, this is not always possible so please do get in touch ahead of your visit if you are reliant on such resources.
