The main entrance to the cathedral is on the South side and there is level access via a stone ramp. There are no handrails. The doors are heavy, but there will be volunteer ushers on the door.

Access via both the East side and the South side is to the main Nave, Quire and the Fraser Chapel. The AGM/lecture and refreshments afterwards will take place in the Nave.

Inside, the lighting in the Nave is soft, the chairs are arm-less and moveable, there are no pillars in eyeline, and the lectern rises up from the ground. There is a Loop system and assistance dogs are welcome.

The toilets are accessibile from the Nave via either 3 steps or via the outside and the chorister door (there will be volunteer ushers).
