ACCESS & VENUE

Access: If you have additional access needs (e.g. large print, BSL interpreter, level access) Please let us know by emailing or sending us an SMS text/WhatsApp message on 07957 602790‬

These sessions are in our upstairs workshop space. We are in the process of installing a lift, however due to unforseen delays this is now due to be completed later in the year. The event space is up a single flight of 14 steps and then you go around the corner and there are two small steps. Once you're upstairs there is a loo. You shouldn't need to come downstairs for anything until the end of the activity.
