Access
Disabled persons access includes the visually impaired and physically disabled. Unfortunately the location of the Library enquiry point and a flight of 8 stairs hinders some mobility for the use of wheeled transport e.g. wheel chair; walker. Up close and personal activities can be organised for those visually impaired. Good access is available to the top gallery by arrangement.
Minors, if not part of an educational group, should be accompanied by an adult.
