There are plans for the gallery area to house sculpture, some of which will be tactile. A temporary exhibition of sculpture will be on display outside. Please note that the stairs to the Gallery have handrails to one side only. The pub and brasserie is flat and level on the ground floor and an excellent stair lift allows access to all levels. Both have fully accessible toilets. Much thought has been given to the design and layout of this attraction, given the constraints faced by the site itself. Information signs are in large print and are clearly legible. Staff are willing to assist wherever possible.
Access Guide
This site is free to enter, except for the Visitors Centre itself, which charges an entrSr fee. Designated parking spaces for Orange Badge holders are on offer. Entrance to the site is via steps from Tramway Walk, and a fully accessible sloped area from the car park. A small shop selling snacks has a stepped entrance and a side window. The entrance to the Visitors Centre houses toilet facilities which are fully accessible. Flat, level wooden floors feature throughout all the building, and exhibits and their operation controls are displayed at a low level. There is a low counter in the gift shop. Two steps lead to the outside. Those not able to use the steps should make themselves known to staff, who will be pleased to direct visitors towards an alternative sloped exit.
Movement to upper levels of the Visitors Centre is via wide wooden staircases, with handrails to both sides. Otherwise, a lift, which is clearly signed, provides access. The lift has Braille operation controls. There is ample space for circulation throughout the centre, however, space can become restricted, as this attraction is often busy. On entering the tea shop there is a slight lip, the interior is flat and level. Fully accessible toilets are again provided. Visitors should be aware of the dim lighting which features, as they enter the Camera Obscura room on the first floor, and the Attic room on the second floor.
