Accessibility details
There is currently scaffolding outside the building next door: please don’t be alarmed, we are still safely here and very much open for business! Please be aware that accessibility for pushchairs, mobility scooters and wheelchairs is currently impaired by scaffolding on the building next door which is restricting the width of the nearest dropped kerb. We are doing everything that we can to ensure that all visitors can still access and enjoy our building; if you or somebody in your party have/has an accessibility need that this may affect, please contact us.
