Information for Disabled Visitors
Access for disabled people
We regret that we are unable to provide access to the upper galleries, but there is a ramp on the ground floor, where the display has been designed with wheelchair users in mind, and there is a bell outside the museum which may be used to summon assistance from the staff.
Slide presentations of exhibitions and the Tapestry are available for viewing, and our display texts have been printed according to advice from the visually impaired.


The Museum Shop

Facilities
The Museum has no restaurant facilities, but there are several eating places in the vicinity.  Owing to limited space there are no public toilet facilities in the Museum, but there are public conveniences nearby.

Museum Shop
The Museum has a shop which sells inexpensive souvenirs (see Gifts and Greetings and Books and Booklets), postcards and books, and will provide you on request with a free Town Guide and Town Trail leaflet showing buildings of interest in the town.
