Accessibility details

Lift access to the first floor if required. Partial wheelchair access is because we offer an “add on” to the tour, in the form of a sneak peek at the basement area, which has no lift or wheelchair accessibility. In the past, if some tour attendees can’t manage the stairs, their friends/relatives who can do them have video called them to give them a virtual tour. Please note, toilets are available for tour attendees only at present. Central’s public toilets are closed to the public at time of writing
