Our gallery is committed to making our exhibitions as accessible as possible. While we know there is much to improve, we aim to make our gallery as accessible as possible. Below are key accessibility details for visitors:

Physical Access

• Entrance Access: The gallery has a portable disabled ramp. However, it must be manually set up each day. The ramp is very heavy if necessary, a public member may assist in setting it up. Additionally, wheelchair users may require assistance from someone to push them up the ramp, as it is not self-supported.

• Wheelchair Access: Once inside, the space is wheelchair accessible. However, please note that the floor has minor damage and slight bumps that may affect mobility.

Facilities

• Seating: Some seating can be provided upon request; depending on the exhibition there may already be seating. The exhibiting artists are responsible for setting up seating for visitors.

• Accessible Toilet: There is a disabled access toilet on-site, equipped with one support bar and an emergency pull cord. While functional, it may not meet all accessibility standards.

Lighting & Sensory Considerations

• Lighting: The gallery lights can be dimmed upon request to accommodate visitors with light sensitivity.

• Sensory Sensitivities: Each exhibition is different, but if any show includes elements such as flashing lights, loud sounds, or strong scents, this will be noted in the advertising.

Information & Assistance

• Signage & Guidance: There are no dedicated accessibility signs in the gallery.

• However, exhibiting artists are always present in the space and are the best point of contact for any questions or assistance.
