Accessibility details

The Heritage Quad is a functioning workshop. Visitors are therefore advised to wear closed toe shoes. Although there is level access in the Heritage Quad itself, the path from Dean's Park to the Heritage Quad is cobbled and therefore uneven. There is no parking available at the Minster. Please check the City of York Council's website for the nearest car parks and arrangements for blue badge holders.
